Trevon Diggs, Cowboys CB, out for season after sustaining torn ACL in practice

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs tore his ACL during Thursday's practice and will be out for the rest of this season, the team confirmed in a statement Thursday.

He sustained the injury during 1-on-1 drills, according to multiple reports.




The news comes after the All-Pro corner was seen on crutches following practice and underwent an MRI.

When quarterback Dak Prescott was asked for updates, the team was still awaiting Diggs' results.

And nothing hurts more than that in my experience. SOAB.

I didn't have surgery and opted for weeks of excruciating physical therapy.

Diggs has a lot of work ahead.

...he had partial tears of the MCL & PCL, too.
PT won't be effective in getting him back on the field with zero stability for quite a few weeks.
Surgery is almost certain, unfortunately for him.

Diggs may have a permanent limp at best and may have to retire at worst.

I heard them pop as it happened. I was generally OK that day (I could walk but couldn't ski, so had to take a snow mobile down the hill), but holy hell did it hurt the next day. Fortunately, I didn't need surgery.
