Trevon Diggs apologizes over spat with reporter while defending his play with Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has apologized to a reporter over a confrontation about a social media post
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Trevon Diggs spent way more time with reporters Wednesday than the soft-spoken cornerback of the Dallas Cowboys normally does, if he holds a weekly session at all.
The reason was clear. Diggs was answering questions for the first time since confronting a television reporter while still in full uniform just minutes after a 30-24 loss to San Francisco last weekend.
Diggs apologized to the reporter, who later said he was sorry for any misinterpretation of a post on X, formerly Twitter, questioning Diggs' role in a 43-yard completion to tight end George Kittle that set up a 49ers touchdown.
The postgame exchange between Diggs and the reporter, which came just outside the locker room before it was open to the media, was caught on video. Diggs didn't talk to reporters in the locker room.
