Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has undergone knee surgery for the second consecutive year, raising concerns about his availability for the 2025 season. Following last year's ACL repair on the same knee, this procedure is more complex, involving a chondral tissue graft to replace damaged cartilage. Diggs played 11 games in the 2024 season, finishing with two interceptions and 11 pass breakups, despite a series of injuries affecting the Cowboys' secondary. The team had to rotate through eight different cornerbacks this season due to injuries to multiple players, including projected starter DaRon Bland, who played only seven games after recovering from a foot injury.
Diggs earned Pro Bowl honors in 2021 and 2022 and led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, showcasing his significant impact on the field. While he successfully recovered in time to start the 2024 season after a torn ACL, the uncertainty surrounding his current surgery puts his future in question.
