"Ahead of the 2025 season, the Dallas Cowboys did what nobody thought they would do. Owner Jerry Jones traded generational defensive talent Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. Dallas' defense will undoubtedly be worse in 2025 because of it. On Thursday, September 4, the Cowboys are on the road to face the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles. While the team won't have Micah Parsons, the Cowboys' defense did get some positive news."
"With a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft, the Cowboys selected Trevon Diggs out of Alabama. Over five seasons, he's played in 58 games for Dallas and has made 57 starts. His best season by far was in 2021 when he had a league-leading 11 interceptions. He returned two of those interceptions for a touchdown. With that impressive season, Diggs was named first-team All-Pro."
"It's been an uphill battle for the 26-year-old to stay healthy over the last two seasons. In 2023, Diggs played just two games for the Cowboys after he suffered a torn ACL. Last year, he played in 11 of 17 games for the Cowboys. However, Diggs needed season-ending knee surgery. It was for the same knee je tore his ACL in 2023."
The Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2025 season, weakening Dallas' defense. The Cowboys open Week 1 on Thursday, September 4, on the road against the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles. Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) is expected to play versus the Eagles. Diggs was a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Alabama and has 57 starts in 58 games over five seasons. His 2021 campaign produced a league-leading 11 interceptions and first-team All-Pro honors. Diggs missed time with a torn ACL in 2023 and underwent season-ending knee surgery last year; he also had a chondral tissue graft this offseason. Projected outside corners include Diggs and Kaiir Elam, with DaRon Bland in the slot.
