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.

Pre-Game Breakdown: Eagles’ Health Boost, Vikings’ Strategy — Who Takes the Win?
Eagles vs. Vikings: Final Lineups, Injury Updates & Bold Score Prediction for Week 7 After back-to-back losses to the Saints and Giants — plus locker room drama surrounding A.J. Brown — the Philadelphia Eagles face their biggest test of the season. Head Coach Nick Sirianni insists the team is “focused inward,” but the pressure is real. The Eagles’ red-zone efficiency and secondary coverage have been weak, ranking 28th in the NFL. Yet, with Lane Johnson and Saquon Barkley expected to play, balance may return to an offense centered on Jalen Hurts (1,200 yards, 8 TDs). Across the field, Carson Wentz leads the Vikings against his former team in a revenge storyline. Despite steady numbers (1,000 yards, 6 TDs), he’ll face one of the league’s fiercest pass rushes (12 sacks). Justin Jefferson remains Minnesota’s top threat, but the Eagles’ secondary featuring Slay and Mitchell is ready. Prediction: Eagles 27 – Vikings 23. Philadelphia reclaims its rhythm behind Barkley’s ground control and a late touchdown from DeVonta Smith. 🏈 Projected Starting Lineups – Eagles vs. Vikings (Week 7) Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) Offense:QB Jalen Hurts | RB Saquon Barkley (Q) | WR A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith | TE Dallas Goedert | OL Mailata, Dickerson, Jurgens, Becton, Johnson Defense:DE Sweat, Reddick | DT Carter, Davis | LB Dean, Baun | CB Mitchell, Slay | S Gardner-Johnson, Brown Game Plan: 55% run rate, control tempo, heavy blitz pressure on Wentz. Minnesota Vikings (3-2) Offense:QB Wentz | RB Aaron Jones | WR Jefferson, Addison | TE Hockenson | OL Darrisaw, Risner, Bradbury, Ingram, O’Neill Defense:DE Greenard, Van Ginkel | DT Phillips | LB Pace Jr., Cashman | CB Murphy Jr., Gilmore | S Smith (Q) / Bynum, Metellus Game Plan: Blitz-heavy scheme, tight coverage on Brown, vulnerable against the run. Notes: Barkley and Johnson expected to play; Harrison Smith questionable. Injury reports to be updated morning of Oct 19. Can the Eagles soar back to form and silence the doubts?
