Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs was seen leaving the Cowboys practice facility using crutches. Per Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News, Diggs injured his knee during the one-on-one period of practice.
Diggs was said to be undergoing an MRI to determine the severity. His availability for this weekend’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, and the season, is unknown until the results of the MRI return.

Diggs inked a five-year $97 million contract extension this offseason. The deal included a $21.25 million signing bonus along with incentives that could push the deal up to as much as $104 million.
