Trevon

Diggs

Guyton went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 12 and missed the following game on Thanksgiving. Nathan Thomas will continue to start at left tackle this week. Though he will be a clear weak point for the Cowboys, that shouldn’t stop their offensive machine from rolling versus Detroit. Trevon Diggs was not activated from injured reserve and is also out.

We would like to assume the owner of the Cowboys has a pretty good sense of the health of his players, but we’ll take this with a grain of salt. Diggs was placed on injured reserve after suffering an accident at home late last month and has missed the team’s last six games. The Cowboys have yet to open Diggs’ 21-day return window, which they will need to do if they hope to get him on the practice field this week. With Dallas playing on Thursday in Week 14, the team will need to designate him for a return early in the week.

Diggs went from an at-home concussion to injured reserve in the span of two weeks, meaning he will now miss at least five total games from a freak incident away from football. The Cowboys have already been one of the league’s most forgiving defenses, something that only worsens with Diggs of the field.

The Cowboys will also be without starting S Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder), rookie CB Shavon Revel (knee) and LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee). Backups S Juanyeh Thomas (migraine) and DE Marshawn Kneeland (ankle) are questionable. The Broncos offense has a fantasy-friendly matchup on its hands this week.

Jones’ comments come before the the Cowboys third practice of the week gets underway. We will receive a more official word on both players’ statuses later in the day, but it’s worth pointing out that Diggs and Wilson were DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. Jones calling them questionable is a fairly optimistic take given how they are trending based on those practices. We’ll check back in once the final injury report is released but both players will probably need a limited practice on Friday if they hope to suit up this weekend.

Diggs missed the Cowboys’ Week 7 game against the Commanders after suffering a concussion in some sort of at-home accident. He is seemingly unlikely to play in Week 8 against the Broncos. Cowboys S Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder) also remains sidelined on Thursday.

Diggs suffered the concussion in Week 7 and is still in protocol as practices for Week 8 start. S Donovan Wilson (elbow/shoulder) also did not participate, leaving the Cowboys secondary without a pair of starters. Both are in jeopardy of missing Week 8 against the Broncos.

We don’t know the specifics of this, but according to Schottenheimer, Diggs’ concussion is the result of an at home accident. The veteran corner has totaled 18 tackles and one TFL in six games this season while earning a PFF coverage grade of 62.5 Opposing QBs have targeted him just 15 times on the year, but could find a little more room to throw C.J. Godwin expected to step up in his absence.

Turpin, Booker, Lamb, and Sanborn were all ruled out on Friday. Tyler Smith (knee), DaRon Bland (shoulder), and Trevon Diggs (knee) will all play off their questionable tags. Cornelius and (Mazi) Smith are healthy scratches.

Cowboys LG Tyler Smith (knee) is questionable and RG Tyler Booker (ankle) is out. The Cowboys’ offensive line health is beginning to improve, which bodes positively for both Dak Prescott and Javonte Williams. The Panthers’ defensive line is among the league’s weaker units, but the Cowboys face a tougher Commanders squad in Week 7. The Cowboys also ruled out LB Jack Sanborn (concussion). CBs DaRon Bland (shoulder) and Trevon Diggs (knee) are questionable, though both players remained limited in practice all week.
