The Cowboys fear that Diggs suffered a torn ACL after he exited Thursday's practice with a knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Diggs sustained the injury in a 1-on-1 drill during the early portion of practice and was spotted moving about with crutches as he exited the Cowboys' team facility. He's expected to undergo an MRI later Thursday or early Friday, and if his medical tests confirm the team's worst fears, he'll be lost for the season. Even if the MRI yields more favorable news, Diggs still seems likely to miss this Sunday's game at Arizona, at a minimum. For however long Diggs is sidelined, DaRon Bland and Jourdan Lewis should be primed to step into larger roles in the Dallas secondary.

Rotowire
Diggs recorded a solo tackle while intercepting a pass and deflecting two others in the Cowboys' 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Only three picks in 2022
Rotowire
Diggs recorded 59 tackles (50 solo) and three interceptions on 14 passes defended, plus a forced fumble, over 17 regular-season games in 2022.
The third-year cornerback wasn't able to repeat his turnover magic from the year before, when he turned 21 passes defended into an incredible 11 INTs, but Diggs also allowed 349 fewer passing yards and 2.6 fewer yards per attempt in coverage. With one more year remaining on his rookie contract, the Cowboys may look to lock up their No. 1 corner with an extension this offseason, but if not he'll be playing in 2023 for a free-agent payday the following spring.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Officially suiting up Saturday
Rotowire
Diggs (illness) has been deemed active for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs missed practice Thursday after popping up with an illness, though this won't keep him from suiting up for Saturday's divisional matchup. The third-year cornerback figures to be assigned with one of his toughest tasks of the season while facing Eagles No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown.
Diggs (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Diggs popped up on the injury report and failed to practice Thursday with an apparent illness, ultimately leaving his Week 16 availability versus Philadelphia in jeopardy. Though a divisional matchup at home late in the season seems like an occasion that Diggs would do everything in his power not to miss, Kelvin Joseph and Nahshon Wright would nonetheless be in line for additional secondary snaps behind starter DaRon Bland should last year's interception leader ultimately be sidelined Saturday.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Active in Week 13
Rotowire
Diggs (illness) is listed as active Sunday versus the Colts.
Diggs was able to log just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 13 prep due to an illness. However, coach Mike McCarthy relayed to Jon Machota of The Athletic on Friday that he expected Diggs to be available Sunday, which has come to pass. The shut-down corner thus will look to build upon the 42 tackles and three interceptions that he's compiled through 11 games this season.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Sidelined due to illness

Diggs didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Diggs and Michael Gallup were both sidelined to start Week 13 prep due to an illness that is apparently making the rounds around Dallas' locker room.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Six solo tackles in win
Rotowire
Diggs notched six solo tackles during Sunday's 22-10 win over the Rams.
Diggs set a season high with six tackles and now has 15 stops, nine pass defenses and two interceptions across five games. The 2020 second-round pick has blossomed into one of the best cornerbacks in the league, but he's extremely reliant on his ball-hawking skills both in terms of his production on the field and in fantasy.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Secures 11th interception
Rotowire
Diggs had two solo tackles and an interception during Sunday's 56-14 win over Washington.
Diggs wasted little time getting involved Sunday, as he picked off Taylor Heinicke on a deep ball down the right sideline on Washington's first play from scrimmage. The 2020 second-round pick is the first player to record at least 11 interceptions in a season since 1981, and he's within striking distance of the all-time, single-season record of 14 picks, which was set in 1952 by Dick "Night Train" Lane.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Secures another interception
Rotowire

Diggs was without an interception in the previous two games, but he grabbed his league-leading eighth pick of the season during the second quarter off Matt Ryan. The 2020 second-round pick also has 28 tackles (24 solo) and 13 passes defensed through nine games.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle) was a limited participant at the Cowboys' practice Wednesday, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
The cornerback was able to play in Week 6 against the Patriots with the injury, so he's likely to play Sunday versus the Vikings. The limited practice to open the week is a good sign for his availability. Diggs is set to match up with Justin Jefferson in Week 8.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: In line to play Sunday
Rotowire
Diggs (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
One of the early frontrunners for NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors with an NFL-best six interceptions to go with 10 pass breakups and 18 tackles through five games, Diggs looks like he'll be able to play through the ankle concern Week 6. Those planning on including Diggs in lineups in IDP leagues will still want to confirm that he isn't part of the Cowboys' inactive list, which will be released approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Misses practice with ankle injruy
Rotowire
Diggs didn't participate at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
Diggs dealt with a back issue earlier in October and is now missing practice due to a new health concern. The 24-year-old looks well on his way to earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2021, as he's opened the campaign with interceptions (six in total) in each of the Cowboys' first five games. It's unclear if Diggs will be able to return to practice Thursday or Friday, which would put him on track to play Sunday in New England.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Picks keep coming
Rotowire
Diggs recorded five tackles (three solo) and two passes defended, including his sixth interception of the season, in Sunday's win over the Giants.
Incredibly, Diggs nearly had another pick earlier in the game as he made a spectacular leap near the sideline to get his hands on a Daniel Jones pass, only to land out of bounds. The second-year corner is only the second player in Cowboys history to record an interception in five straight games to begin a season, joining Don Bishop in 1961. Moreover, if he can snatch one off Patriots' rookie Mac Jones in Week 6, Diggs will tie the NFL record for longest INT streak at six games -- a record held by, among others, legendary Dallas coach Tom Landry during his playing days with the Giants. At some point, the opposition might stop throwing in Diggs' direction entirely, but until then, he'll continue putting together a breakout campaign.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Pick-six in big win
Rotowire
Diggs recorded two tackles and three passes defended, including one that he intercepted and returned 59 yards for his first career NFL touchdown in Monday's 41-21 win over the Eagles.
With Philly trying to get back into the game on the first possession of the second half, Jalen Hurts looked DeVonta Smith's way on an out route, but the receiver stumbled and Diggs smoothly stepped in front of the pass with nothing but open field in front of him down the sideline. The second-year cornerback is emerging as the difference-maker the Cowboys envisioned when they selected him with the 51st overall pick in the 2020 draft, and Diggs has an interception in three straight games to begin the season -- already matching his total through 12 games as a rookie.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Expected to come off IR
Rotowire
The Cowboys are expected to activate Diggs (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs has missed four games due to a fractured bone in his foot, but it looks like he could be available against the 49ers on Sunday. The rookie second-round pick played 50-70 defensive snaps per game when healthy, but the Cowboys could opt to ease him back into action upon his return.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Diggs (foot) was placed on IR on Wednesday.
A week and a half has passed since Diggs was given a four- to six-week return timetable due to a fractured bone in his foot, so this move comes as no surprise. In the best case scenario, Diggs would be eligible to rejoin his teammates on the field in Week 14 against the Bengals at the earliest.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Likely IR bound with fractured foot
Rotowire
Diggs is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after he was diagnosed Tuesday with a fractured bone in his left foot, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. He won't require surgery to address the injury, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.com.
Though the beleaguered Cowboys defense turned in one of its best outings of the season in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers, the foot injury Diggs picked up in the game leaves a struggling Dallas secondary even more vulnerable. While he has been far from a shutdown corner during his rookie season, he had emerged as a useful IDP option thanks to his high tackle counts. The second-round pick has played 557 of a possible 596 defensive plays this season, tallying 48 tackles, two interceptions, 10 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one sack. Based on the projected timeline for his recovery, Diggs looks like he could be in danger of missing the rest of the season.

Cowboys' Trevon Diggs: Leaves with foot injury
Rotowire
Diggs is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a left foot injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Diggs was forced off the field late in the fourth quarter, so if he doesn't return Sunday, it won't necessarily indicate that his injury was too serious to play through. The rookie second-round pick has been a near every-down player in Dallas' secondary, so his presence will be difficult to replace against Pittsburgh's dangerous collection of receivers.
