The Dallas Cowboys are grappling with a significant injury to cornerback Trevon Diggs, who has a calf tear and is questionable for the upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons. Despite initially downplaying the injury, team owner Jerry Jones confirmed its severity.

Coach Mike McCarthy indicated that Diggs' status will likely be a game-time decision, while Jourdan Lewis is poised to step up if Diggs cannot play. Other defensive players, including DaRon Bland and Micah Parsons, are also dealing with injuries, complicating the Cowboys' defensive strategy.
