The results from a Thursday MRI have apparently confirmed the Cowboys’ worst fears. Trevon Diggs has suffered a torn ACL, and the Cowboys believe he will miss the remainder of the season, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport.
The injury occurred during the 1-on-1 session Thursday. Diggs was said to have hobbled off the field on his own, but was later seen at the facility on crutches.
Diggs has recorded 18 interceptions since entering the league in 2020, tied for the league lead over that timeframe. Over the first two games of this season, he had allowed an astonishing 1.0 passer rating, by far the lowest in the NFL.
The loss of the two-time Pro Bowler will be a devastating blow to the Cowboys defense, which is off to a historically strong start.
An MRI already confirmed Trevon Diggs' injury, per source. He's done for the season. https://t.co/PQ7mS4a9hV

This is Diggs’s first injury since a hairline foot fracture that caused him to miss four games as a rookie.

DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis will likely combine their talents to take over Diggs’s game day responsibilities opposite Stephon Gilmore. Noah Igbinoghene, rookie Eric Scott Jr., and Israel Mukuamu also have corner capabilities.
