Jerry Jones Says Trevon Diggs’ Issue Is Other Knee, Expects CB Back After IR Stint

Jones downplayed any imminent trade for defensive help despite outside pressure.

Overview

  • Dallas placed Diggs on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games and making Week 13 at Kansas City his first eligible return.
  • Jerry Jones said the current problem involves Diggs’ other knee rather than his reconstructed left knee.
  • Jones dismissed suggestions that Dallas rushed Diggs back, countering criticism voiced by former teammate Micah Parsons.
  • With Diggs out, rookie Trikweze Bridges moves into a bigger role at cornerback with CJ Goodwin and Caelen Carson available as depth.
  • Jones downplayed trade possibilities for defensive help before the deadline, as reports also noted Diggs’ early-season struggles when targeted.
