FRISCO, Texas – Heading into last week’s game against the Detroit Lions, Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs said he felt good enough to play, but didn’t get a lot of practice in throughout the week. On Friday, Diggs said he felt he got a good amount of reps a good week of practice under his belt this week, and is ready to play.

Still, Cowboys COO/EVP Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that the Cowboys will make a decision on Diggs’ playing status Saturday, and he’s officially listed as questionable. Earlier in the week, head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that Diggs has “got to show us that he’s ready to do everything the right way.”

It’s been a difficult and unclear situation for both sides over the course of the season, but Diggs says he’d still want to remain with the Cowboys in the future, although he’s ready for anything.

“I love Dallas. But, you know, at the end of the day, it’s a business,” Diggs said. “Whatever happens, happens. I’m prepared, I’m ready for it. I would love to be here. I love everything that comes with Dallas, the fans, the relationships I’ve built here. But if that’s not what it is, that’s just not what it is.”

When it comes to his future, Diggs said that he didn’t really think about it too much. Why?

“Because I know who I am. I know what I’m capable of. I know what I can do. I’m not having a crisis of not knowing how to play football. I know how to play football, I know what I’m capable of, I know what skillset I have. So, you know, it’s all about showing it, putting it out there, and making the plays that I’ve always made.”

With Diggs healthy, he says he’s prepared to play again if Dallas calls on him. Stephen Jones still believes that he will again in 2025, with Sunday night serving as the earliest possibility.

“Yeah, I feel like he will,” Jones said when asked if he’s certain Diggs will play again this year. “But obviously there’s a certain standard that coach Schottenheimer and his staff are looking at with him. Certainly for him to play the type of defense we want him to play and play the corner position the way we want him to play it, he needs to be out there practicing, which he has been, and be diligent in the meetings and have good practices.”

From the torn ACL in 2023 to season-ending knee surgery in 2024 and now a knee injury sidelining him since Week 6, it’s been a difficult process for Diggs in terms of recovery.

“It’s been hard. It’s definitely been hard,” Diggs said. “Of course you want to get back out there, but, you know, people feel how they feel, and you got to roll with the punches and keep pushing forward.”

That in mind, he’s used his urge to play alongside his teammates again as motivation to try and work his way back on the field.

“Just being able to go back out there with my brothers, being able to play with those guys,” Diggs said. “Running around, fly around, hit people, take the ball away, just doing everything together as a team. I feel like that’s most fun part… I miss that, too.”

Now, it’s a matter of if Diggs has done enough in his physical ramp up process, and meeting the coaching staff’s expectations, that’ll determine whether or not he’ll be activated for Sunday night against Minnesota.
