Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs believes he’s ready to return to the field — but the team isn’t on the same page.
Diggs recently expressed confidence in his recovery and readiness to play, sparking optimism among fans eager to see the Pro Bowl cornerback back in action. However, the Cowboys’ coaching and medical staff appear far less convinced, opting for caution rather than rushing him back.
The disconnect highlights the delicate balance NFL teams must strike between player confidence and long-term health. While Diggs feels physically prepared, Dallas seems focused on ensuring there’s no risk of setback, especially with the season reaching a critical stage.
From the team’s perspective, protecting one of their defensive cornerstones is paramount. From Diggs’ viewpoint, competitors want to compete — and sitting out can be frustrating, especially when the defense could benefit from his presence.
For now, the Cowboys are holding firm. Whether Diggs eventually forces the issue or waits for official clearance remains to be seen, but the situation is one fans will be watching closely as the season unfolds.
