Trevon Diggs' absence this Sunday will be his third game missed in the 2025 NFL season due to injury. With Diggs sidelined, the immediate onus will be on Kaiir Elam, who the Cowboys acquired in the past offseason. He will likely step in opposite All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland while Reddy Steward remains at nickel corner. With this latest injury, Trikweze Bridges could also find himself on the gameday roster for Sunday while Robert Rochell would also be eligible to be brought up from the practice squad.
In the 2025 season, Trevon Diggs has recorded 13 solo tackles.
