Star wide receiver Trevon Diggs of the Dallas Cowboys spoke to the media for the first time in more than a month.
The gifted player hurt his ACL during practice on September 21, which ended his season. He didn’t decide to get surgery to fix the injury until last week.
The reasons why he waited so long to get the surgery are undisclosed, and it was kind of an unusual decision, considering the players usually decide to address those issues as soon as possible.
Then again, still in crutches, Diggs claimed to be in good spirits and not worried about working his way back to the field (via Jon Machota).
The 25-year-old talked about there being so much technology and medical breakthroughs to help him get back to full strength, adding that he’s just got to roll with the punches and follow God’s plan.
The Alabama product has stayed close to the team despite his injury, even traveling to Los Angeles for their game vs. the Chargers.
Nonetheless, he’s not going to do the same for Sunday’s clash vs. the Philadelphia Eagles, considering he just went under the knife.
It’s clear that the Cowboys have lost one of the top ball-hawks in the league.
DaRon Bland, his replacement, has nevertheless performed admirably.
Since switching to the slot to replace Diggs, he’s already set the franchise record for the most pick-sixes in a season thrice, and he’s only one shy of breaking the NFL record in that category, so perhaps he could do it against Jalen Hurts.
