FRISCO – The Dallas Cowboys concluded the 2024 season as a mere shadow of what they thought they could be.
The flaws were evident during a season that concluded with a 7-10 record, and some of the responsibility for the football debacle was assigned to the fact that the Cowboys had been plagued by injuries all year.
They ultimately lost nearly all of their Pro Bowl-caliber talent at some point.
Of course, the headline-grabbers included Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Micah Parsons, all of whom missed time during the season.
Another setback occurred in the secondary with Trevon Diggs, who was unable to avoid injury for the second consecutive season.
After suffering an ACL tear, Diggs missed all but two games in 2023 and faced additional knee issues in 2024.
Before missing his first game of the season in Week 12, he participated in all of the Cowboys’ initial ten games. The following week, Diggs played one more game and then went on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
He recently had surgery to graft chondral tissue in his left knee, and it is thought that the procedure and recovery time could keep him out until parts of training camp, if not longer.
However, teammate Parsons comes with a positive update.
His operation was successful. I spoke with him, and he’s doing quite well. „Er ist in Dallas und macht genau das, was er machen soll“, sagte Parsons, via DallasCowboys.com. He is the consummate rival. He knows that when he returns, and it will be very soon, he will be great.
In reality, Diggs could miss a significant portion of the offseason, which introduces some doubt about his ability to start the 2024 season in good health. He is set to begin the third year of a five-year, $97 million extension that was signed prior to the 2023 season. … with question marks.
While the Cowboys definitely hope to have Diggs back on the field in 2025, they want him to be healthy and capable of withstanding the demands of an 18-week season.
Parsons stated, “It’s really just about getting stability back and resting.”
To be honest, it concerns a lot more than that: over time, Dallas has needed Diggs – who became a key player in the team’s secondary after his breakout season in 2021 thanks to his ball-hawking skills – to regain the form that earned him two Pro Bowl selections.
For the Cowboys secondary in the 2025 season, it will be crucial to have Diggs back on the field. Hopefully, he can regain his peak performance and steer clear of further injury setbacks… with “stability” and “rest” being integral to the process.
