Overview
- Dallas did not activate Trevon Diggs from injured reserve, making him unavailable for Week 15 against Minnesota after a week of limited practices.
- Owner Jerry Jones said postgame that practice evaluations showed Diggs was not healthy enough to help, despite the cornerback telling reporters he was ready.
- Coach Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized a ramp-up period, pointing to the need for consistency across practice, preparation and scheme work before a return.
- Multiple insider reports describe a deteriorating relationship between Diggs and the organization, which those reports say influenced the non-activation decision.
- If he is not added to the 53-man roster by Dec. 20/21, he will revert to season-ending IR, and contract analyses note potential 2026 cap savings if Dallas releases him in March.
