Just when it seemed like nothing could possible go wrong for the Dallas Cowboys, something has gone wrong… Very wrong.
Earlier it was reported that superstar cornerback Trevon Diggs was spotted on crutches after injuring his knee at practice. The 2022 Pro Bowler was set for an MRI, and those tests have since confirmed that he suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the 2023 season.

The Cowboys were emerging as strong Super Bowl contenders following a hot 2-0 start to their season that saw their defense dominate during lopsided victories over the New York Giants and New York Jets. Losing their top corner is a massive hit to those championship aspirations.
It’ll be interesting if Jerry Jones and company attempt to replace Diggs somehow through a trade or free agency. Unfortunately, cornerbacks of his caliber don’t just grown on trees.
Through two games this season, Diggs had three passes defended, one interception and a forced fumble. He’s given up just three completions on nine targets for a measly 31 yards and no touchdowns.

The two-time Pro Bowl is just a few years removed from his epic 2021 campaign that saw him lead the NFL with an astounding 11 interceptions. DaRon Bland, Jourdan Lewis and Noah Igbinoghene will be called upon to step up in Diggs’ absence.
