The Cowboys fear that Diggs suffered a torn ACL after he exited Thursday's practice with a knee injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diggs sustained the injury in a 1-on-1 drill during the early portion of practice and was spotted moving about with crutches as he exited the Cowboys' team facility. He's expected to undergo an MRI later Thursday or early Friday, and if his medical tests confirm the team's worst fears, he'll be lost for the season. Even if the MRI yields more favorable news, Diggs still seems likely to miss this Sunday's game at Arizona, at a minimum. For however long Diggs is sidelined, Daron Bland and Jourdan Lewis should be primed to step into larger roles in the Dallas secondary.

Diggs suffered a knee injury during Thursday's practice and is set to undergo an MRI, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The extent of Diggs' injury won't be known until the results of the MRI are read, but his status for Sunday's game in Arizona -- and potentially beyond -- is uncertain after he was spotted exiting the Cowboys' facility while using crutches to move about. Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, Diggs' injury occurred during the 1-on-1 period early on during Thursday's session. The fourth-year cornerback has gotten off to a solid start to the 2023 campaign, recording four tackles, breaking up three passes and forcing two turnovers (an interception and a forced fumble) through Dallas' first two games.

Diggs recorded a solo tackle while intercepting a pass and deflecting two others in the Cowboys' 30-10 win over the Jets in Week 2.
EDGE Analysis
Diggs was able to pick off Zach Wilson in the fourth quarter, notching his first interception of the year. The cornerback came into this season with 17 career interceptions over his first three campaigns in Dallas and he'll look to build off of Sunday's strong contest moving forward.

Diggs (toe) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diggs participated in team drills Tuesday for the first time since his contract extension and is healthy ahead of preseason action after dealing with a minor toe issue. The Pro Bowl corner has 17 interceptions in his first three NFL campaigns and is a key piece of Dallas' elite defense.

Diggs (toe) was still doing individual drills in practice Monday, but he's making steps on his road to recovery, Casey Smith of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The plan for Diggs is to work him back slowly, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Smith notes that Diggs looked near 100 percent in his individual workouts Monday, but there's certainly no reason for the Cowboys to rush him back. The Pro Bowl corner will continue ramping up his participation level and is expected to be ready for full activity before Week 1.

Head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Saturday that Diggs (toe) should be able to participate in practices next week, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Archer noted that Diggs spent the last two days rehabbing on the sideline in his cleats and all signs point to him returning to training camp practices in the upcoming week. Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million extension Tuesday that includes a $21.25 million signing bonus, making him one of the highest-paid corners in the league. Diggs put together a solid 2022 season with 59 tackles, 14 pass deflections, three interceptions and a fumble recovery in 17 games. He's an integral piece to a Cowboys defense that finished first in turnovers (33) and seventh in interceptions (16) last season.

Diggs is signing a five-year extension with the Cowboys, Adam Teicher of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2020 second-round pick had 11 interceptions in his second pro season and turned in another solid campaign last year -- 59 tackles, 14 passes defensed, three INTs -- as one of the top players on one of the league's best defenses. Diggs has faced criticism for taking risks and focusing on interceptions over lockdown coverage, but the wins have been much more noticeable than the losses so far. The Cowboys expect that to continue after making the 25-year-old one of the highest-paid cornerbacks in the NFL.

Diggs recorded 59 tackles (50 solo) and three interceptions on 14 passes defended, plus a forced fumble, over 17 regular-season games in 2022.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year cornerback wasn't able to repeat his turnover magic from the year before, when he turned 21 passes defended into an incredible 11 INTs, but Diggs also allowed 349 fewer passing yards and 2.6 fewer yards per attempt in coverage. With one more year remaining on his rookie contract, the Cowboys may look to lock up their No. 1 corner with an extension this offseason, but if not he'll be playing in 2023 for a free-agent payday the following spring.

Diggs (illness) has been deemed active for Saturday's game versus Philadelphia, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diggs missed practice Thursday after popping up with an illness, though this won't keep him from suiting up for Saturday's divisional matchup. The third-year cornerback figures to be assigned with one of his toughest tasks of the season while facing Eagles No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown.

Diggs (illness), who is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Eagles, is trending toward playing, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diggs missed the Cowboys' final practice of the week Thursday due to the illness, but he's apparently feeling healthier as Saturday's 4:25 p.m. kickoff approaches. Assuming Diggs avoids the Cowboys' inactive list, he should be able to fill his usual role as Dallas' No. 1 cornerback and could be tasked with trying to slow down Eagles standout receiver A.J. Brown for most of the day.
