"Diggs said he expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings after a two-month absence from a concussion and a stint on injured reserve with a right knee injury. On Saturday, he was told he would be inactive again. Yet, after the game, owner and general manager Jerry Jones said, "Diggs isn't healthy enough to be out there for us. Period.""
"If Dallas wants to move on from him, and it is looking more and more likely, they could save a little bit. Cutting Diggs before June 1st, the Dallas Cowboys could save about $12.5 million in salary cap space for the 2026 season, while waiting until after June 1st would allow them to save even more, potentially up to $15.5 million, with less dead cap impact."
"The Dallas defense led by Matt Eberflus has been the worst in football, and Diggs was not great when he was in the lineup, but not having a $100 million dollar corner on the field for two months is an issue. I am not sure what is going to happen, but now that Dallas is all but out of the playoffs, Jerry Jones says that the starters are going to finish the year, so maybe we will see Diggs."
Trevon Diggs expected to play after a two-month absence for a concussion and a right knee injury but was declared inactive again. Owner and GM Jerry Jones stated Diggs is not healthy enough to play, raising doubts about Diggs’s return to the Cowboys in 2026. Cutting Diggs before June 1 would save about $12.5 million in 2026 cap space; cutting after June 1 could save up to $15.5 million with less dead-cap. Dallas’s defense has struggled under Matt Eberflus, and Diggs’s absence meant the team missed a $100 million cornerback for two months. Jones says starters will finish the season.
