Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs set for season-ending knee surgery, AP sources say
Two people with knowledge of the decision say Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is set for season-ending surgery on his left knee
AP Pro Football Writer (AP) — Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs is set for season-ending surgery on his left knee to deal with an issue that was about to sideline him for the third time in four games, two people with knowledge of the decision said Saturday.
It's the same knee that needed surgery early last season to repair a torn ACL, but the ligament is intact, the people told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because details weren't made public.
Diggs was downgraded to out for Sunday's visit to Carolina (3-10), and the Cowboys (5-8) said the 2021 All-Pro wasn't making the trip.
The 26-year-old Diggs had missed two games with groin and knee injuries before returning for the 27-20 loss to Cincinnati on Monday night. He also battled foot and ankle issues earlier this season. The ACL tear last year, which happened in practice, sidelined Diggs the final 15 games.
