The Dallas Cowboys defense has taken another hit.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer announced Friday that cornerback Trevon Diggs had an accident at his home Thursday night, suffered a concussion and won't play Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
"Trevon Diggs came in this morning with some concussion symptoms after having an accident at his home," the first-year coach said. "He's been checked out by our doctors and is in the protocol and will miss the game."
Schottenheimer didn't elaborate on what caused the concussion.
Diggs, who has missed time each of the past two seasons due to injury, has played in all six games this season, compiling 18 tackles and no passes defensed. Opponents have targeted the 27-year-old 15 times in 2025, completing 11 passes for 216 yards and three touchdowns.
"It's part of the business. It's unfortunate," Schottenheimer said. Obviously, I want what's best for Trevon, and I'm certainly wishing him well, but again, next man up. We've got guys that we're excited about getting a chance to evaluate. Trikweze Bridges has shown some really good things. Caelen Carson, we've talked about his ability to come back, and we'll see how practice goes today. But again, this is the NFL, and if you're unsure of what's gonna happen, just wait 'cause something's gonna happen, and you deal with it, you don't lose sleep over it."
