Diggs Placed on IR; Parsons Criticizes Cowboys

Trevon Diggs was placed on injured reserve after lingering knee issues and a concussion from a non‑football at‑home incident, sidelining him at least four games with a potential earliest return in Week 13 vs. the Chiefs. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Diggs is not on the trade block and denied the team rushed his return. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Diggs remained in Phase 1 of the concussion protocol and that his knee has been “problematic,” noting Diggs passed a physical in late August and started early‑season games. Micah Parsons, now with the Green Bay Packers, publicly blasted Dallas—saying the club “f***ed my dog over” and accusing the team of forcing Diggs to play Week 1 despite limited reps following knee surgery. Diggs had limited production in six appearances (18 tackles, no interceptions), and his move to IR has elevated rookies such as Trikweze Bridges, exposing thin depth in the Cowboys’ secondary and intensifying scrutiny of the franchise’s medical and roster decisions.
