Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs was spotted on crutches at the Star facility after practice on Thursday. Although reporters weren’t there to witness the portion of practice where Diggs may have suffered an injury, quarterback Dak Prescott took a question about his star cornerback’s status at the end of the day.
“I’m not gonna speculate, way too early,” Prescott said, via Nick Harris. “I saw him leaving the field. Prayers and hoping for the best, simple as that.”
It was later reported that Diggs tore his ACL. He underwent an MRI after practice, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. Dallas Morning News’ Michael Gehlken reported via a source that the injury occurred during 1-on-1 drills.
At training camp, Diggs signed the team’s biggest deal of the offseason with his five-year extension worth $97 million. With incentives, he has the opportunity to earn as much as $100 million over the course of the deal.
He notched his first interception of the season on Sunday against the Jets, helping the Cowboys to a 30-10 victory.
Dallas travels to Arizona to face the Cardinals for an afternoon kickoff on Sunday.
The Dallas Cowboys had very few negatives to take away from their 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon but the injury to Zack Martin was one of them. The 2022 All-Pro right guard exited the game in the fourth quarter after suffering an ankle injury.
Luckily for Dallas, Martin insisted post-game that his injury was not serious, even sharing that he would have continued playing if the score deemed it necessary.
“I feel good,” Martin provided as an update, via Jon Machota, on Monday morning. “Just got rolled up a little bit. Just being smart there at the end of the game. But I feel good.”
The veteran offensive lineman has worked with the Cowboys’ rehab group so far this week instead of practicing but he is expected to play on Sunday against Arizona regardless.
Martin is coming off of an offseason holdout that saw him miss most of training camp in Oxnard. He argued that he wasn’t properly compensated after his six-year deal for $84 million began to lose value compared to more recent deals. Dallas wound up caving before the end of camp, increasing the All-Pro’s salary by $8 million over two years.
