The Dallas Cowboys may very well be down two of their finest defenders after they open the common season in opposition to the defending Tremendous Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 4.
The scenario with Micah Parsons and proprietor Jerry Jones has deteriorated in recent days amid the pass-rusher’s hold-in for a contract extension. One other participant the Cowboys had drama with this summer season, Trevon Diggs, is not certain he’ll return from his knee damage in time for Week 1.
Per Todd Archer of ESPN, Diggs told the media on Friday evening that he feels higher than he ought to however wasn’t certain he might play in opposition to the Eagles. He needs to return to apply earlier than taking part in in a stay recreation.
“I need to apply rather a lot,” Diggs mentioned. “I need to get as a lot apply as doable, get the sport r
eps in, get the stay reps in. I have never practiced shortly, so I really feel the apply will inform much more the place I’m.”
The Cowboys criticized Diggs for not being with the group throughout OTAs this spring, arguing that he may be further along in his recovery if he labored with the coaching and medical workers in Dallas.
Whereas the 2 sides had disagreements about his rehab, Diggs thinks his return date will likely be a mutual determination.
“I feel it is a mutual determination,” Diggs mentioned. “In the event that they see one thing that I do not see or if I really feel one thing that they do not know that I really feel, it is going to be that. It is nearly speaking and going on the market and seeing what I can do.”
Diggs’ damage is one more reason why the Cowboys want to finish the hold-in with Parsons as quickly as doable. Dallas wants its cross rush to be sturdy with out Diggs on the sector. Even when the All-Professional cornerback returns, it would take him a number of video games to settle in.
