Trevon Diggs doesn’t want anyone to speculate about whether he’ll play in the Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles season opener. He released a statement to calm the public and reveal that the chances of him playing in that game are genuinely high.
Jon Machota shared part of what Diggs said, writing on X, “Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs says it’s a 75-80 percent chance of him playing Thursday night in Philadelphia.” With that information, Cowboys fans can now feel a little more at ease.
Another interesting report on his health status came from Joseph Hoyt, who noted, “Trevon Diggs was once again on the field today, August 1st. We should get an injury practice report today for the first time.” Hoyt also added, “Cowboys were not in pads today, but they were yesterday.”
What injury was Trevon Diggs suffering from?
Diggs was recovering from a knee injury he sustained last season. He was expected to return at some point in 2025, but not this early, which is why it came as a surprise when he said his chances of playing in the season opener against the Eagles were so high.
Last season was his third time in his career that he was sidelined for a significant part of the season, as he only appeared in 11 games for the Cowboys. In 2023, he was limited to just two games with the team due to another injury.
If he returns this season, Diggs could contribute over 50 tackles, a mark he has not reached since 2022. He was on track to surpass 42 tackles last season before his injury. The Cowboys’ defense desperately needs the experience of a player like him.
