Team officials targeted early September for his return.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs said he should be ready to go by week 4.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBig raves about them and their competitive spirit and just the work that it takes,\u201d Schottenheimer said. \u201cThese things don\u2019t happen overnight. Trevon is a guy, really truly, when he came back, he started working closely with (Director of Rehabilitation) Britt (Brown) and the trainers. He just took huge leaps and strides. And so proud of him (and) the way he\u2019s attacked this injury and how bad he wants to get out there and play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Cowboys need help, especially on the defensive side of the ball, with the trade of Micah Parsons, who was the leader of that Dallas defense. Now, that leadership role falls on Diggs..<\/p>\n<p>If he is unable to play, expect Kaiir Elam and DaRon Bland, who just got a huge contract extension, to start at cornerback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ahead of their game with the Eagles on Thursday, the Dallas Cowboys get positive news on two of their best players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dallas-cowboys"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
