All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs and starting safety Donovan Wilson have both been ruled out for Sunday afternoon’s game at Mile High.
Diggs remains in concussion protocol after suffering a concussion in a mystery “accident” at his home last Friday, while Wilson has been dealing with elbow and shoulder injuries.
The saga surrounding Diggs is particularly peculiar, with the Cowboys playing things uncharacteristically close to the chest. That has led many to believe that Diggs’ time with the franchise may be coming to an end as the trade deadline looms.
Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer did not rule out an eventual stint on injured reserve for Diggs, while EVP Stephen Jones had his own bizarre response.
Jones was asked whether Diggs has played his final game as a member of Cowboys, and as the Jones’ notoriously do, he said a lot without saying anything at all. His noncommital answer, however, does speak volumes -- anything is on the table with Diggs.
“We haven’t even gone there, we’re just obviously taking this thing week to week and trying to see how we can get him 100 percent healthy to where he could help us,” Jones said.
Diggs has struggled throughout the season, even getting benched earlier in the season, so the Cowboys would be wise to consider all options. Since he hasn’t played particularly well this season, the team should consider unloading Diggs for additional draft capital.
