FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys secondary is on track to receive a major boost come training camp at the end of July: the return of two-time Pro Bowler and 2021 first-team All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs.
Diggs, age 25, tore his ACL in practice prior to the Cowboys’ Week 3 game at the Arizona Cardinals last season, but Dallas likes how his rehabilitation back from the injury is progressing and could potentially see him fully return on the field come training camp at the end of July.
“It looks good, it looks good,” Cowboys assistant head coach/defensive backs coach Al Harris said Tuesday when asked if Diggs’ rehab will have him on track to be ready for training camp. “Actually, that’s just where I was at, me just watching him. [director of rehab] Britt [Brown] is doing a great job with him. As far as timeline-wise, I’ll leave that up to Britt and the strength staff to tell you guys that. For what we did today, I thought he did a good job.”
Diggs’ 18 career interceptions since entering the NFL as a second-round pick in 2020 are tied for the second-most in the league, trailing only two-time Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons’ 19 with Diggs playing 13 fewer games (60 to 47) in that span. Fellow Cowboys cornerback DaRon Bland, who moved to playing outside corner in Diggs’ absence last year and ended up leading the NFL in interceptions with nine, including five returned for touchdowns (an NFL single-season record), feels the same way about Diggs’ rehab as Harris.
“A lot of people are not expecting what Tre is gonna come back with,” Bland said at the 2024 Reliant Home Run Derby, benefiting The Salvation Army, on May 1. “I know what Tre is gonna come back with. It’s going to be something dangerous. I can’t wait.”
