Cowboys Star Trevon Diggs Pushed Himself Too Far and Paid the Price: Inside His Freak Home Accident
The Dallas Cowboys’ weekend took an unexpected turn — and it all started inside Trevon Diggs’ own home.
After a normal week of practice and media silence, the star cornerback was suddenly ruled OUT on Friday morning, placed in the NFL’s concussion protocol following what the team described only as a “home accident.”
But according to multiple sources familiar with Diggs’ preparation habits, the incident may not have been random at all.
“He’s been locked in all week,” one team insider told ClutchPoints-style reports. “Trevon was fired up for Sunday — maybe a little too fired up.”
Diggs is known for his obsessive competitiveness — the type of player who doesn’t just shut off after practice. Teammates often describe him as someone who continues doing footwork drills and balance exercises at home, even late at night.
That work ethic may have backfired.
Early indications suggest Diggs could have been doing a solo workout session — possibly involving jump training or resistance bands — when he lost balance and fell, leading to the concussion symptoms reported the next morning.
“It’s not anything dramatic,” another source added. “Just a freak moment for a guy who never stops pushing himself.”
The Cowboys have remained tight-lipped, calling it a “freak accident,” but the timing couldn’t be worse. With Washington on deck this weekend, Dallas loses its top defensive back right when the secondary is already paper-thin.
Diggs’ intensity has always been part of what makes him great — the fire that turned a second-round pick into an All-Pro corner.
But this time, that same fire might’ve burned a little too hot.
