In the immortal words of Bruce Buffer and the Imagine Dragons, and the HuckaBucks if you’re a fan of DC go-go, It’s Time! The Dallas Cowboys have activated cornerback Trevon Diggs off the Physically Unable to Perform list, allowing him to be a full participant in 2024 training camp.
On the first day of padded practice, and Day 5 of their live practices, the Cowboys are finally able to unveil their premier All-Pro duo at the position, pairing Diggs with DaRon Bland. Diggs, who suffered an ACL tear in practice leading up to Week 3 last season, has recovered to the point that he’ll be able to practice with no restrictions.
Diggs led the NFL in interceptions in 2021 with 11, the most in the league since 1981. He had three in 2022, but many feel he was much more solid in coverage in that campaign, as interceptions are close to just 1% of the snaps a defender sees.
Diggs started last year even better through two games, allowing just two catches for 26 yards on eight targets while hauling in another interception and forcing a fumble while recording a run stop.
Pairing Diggs with Bland, who moved into the boundary position opposite Stephon Gilmore when the former went down, gives Dallas what will hopefully be a dynamic duo that can quickly acclimate to new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer’s new, complicated scheme.
