The Dallas Cowboys are carrying on without Trevon Diggs after the star cornerback's season-ending knee injury.
FILE - Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs stands on the field before a preseason NFL football game against the Las Vegas Raiders in Arlington, Texas, Aug. 26, 2023. n Diggs tore the ACL in his left knee during practice Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023, a major setback for a defense off to a great start in 2023. – The Dallas Cowboys carried Super Bowl expectations into the season and a had a defense playing on that lofty level when star cornerbackThose expectation haven't changed.
“It's something that could happen anywhere,” McCarthy said. “This was not a drill issue at all, by no means.” They'll have to do it without a two-time Pro Bowler who tied the franchise record with 11 interceptions in 2021. He had his first of this season against the Jets last week. His jarring blindside hit in the opener on Giants running back Saquon Barkley led to an interception return for a touchdown by DaRon Bland.
Jourdan Lewis, who made his season debut with 10 snaps last week after missing most of 2022 with a broken foot, could be the first option in the slot. “You can’t do that,” Jones said. “That’s just not real. That’s like saying, ‘I want to be Tom Cruise.’ You don’t replace these irreplaceable players.” It's the third time in four seasons the Cowboys have lost a cornerstone player to a long-term injury early. Quarterback Dak Prescott broke his ankle in Week 5 in 2020, when Dallas missed the playoffs.
