Trevon Diggs is bringing hope back to Dallas with a promising recovery update that has Cowboys fans breathing easier. After missing most of last season due to a torn ACL, Diggs appears on track to return to form, showcasing explosive movement and lateral quickness in a recent rehab video posted to Instagram.
The video, taken at Alkeme Sports Rx in South Florida and overseen by Dr. Sharif Tabbah, highlighted a confident and mobile Diggs going through lateral drills and burst movements with precision. Gone was the stiffness and hesitation. Instead, the All-Pro cornerback moved with fluidity and strength, a sight Cowboys Nation sorely missed.
The caption of the video read: “He’s making more progress as we get closer to training camp,” signaling that Diggs is hitting key milestones. His return couldn’t come at a better time. With a revamped offense around Dak Prescott, including CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, the Cowboys need a healthy secondary to balance their championship ambitions.
In a short message shared alongside the rehab footage, Diggs said, “I’m feeling stronger every week. This has been one of the toughest stretches of my career, but I’m locked in. I’ll be ready when it’s time.” His words reflect not just confidence, but a quiet determination that resonates deeply with fans and teammates alike.
Diggs underwent a chondral graft procedure earlier this year to address lingering damage from his 2023 ACL tear. While some feared a delayed return, his current pace suggests he’ll be ready by mid-August, right on time to ramp up for the season opener. Still, team insiders note he may start camp on the PUP list.
Even with that precaution, the optimism is real. Diggs’s form in rehab drills has drawn comparisons to his 2021 peak, when he led the league with 11 interceptions. His ability to jump routes and disrupt passing lanes gave the Cowboys a game-changing weapon—something they missed dearly last year.
Yet expectations are being tempered. VP Stephen Jones acknowledged that knee recovery is unpredictable, and the team is committed to a cautious approach. The coaching staff, under new DC Matt Eberflus, is focused on long-term health over rushing Diggs back too soon.
In the meantime, DaRon Bland has emerged as a capable fill-in, helping stabilize the CB unit. But make no mistake: a fully healthy Trevon Diggs elevates the Cowboys defense from solid to dangerous. His return could be the final piece needed to push Dallas deep into the playoffs.
The road to recovery isn’t over, but it’s no longer uncertain. With each drill, Diggs is proving he’s more than just rehabbing—he’s reloading. And when Week 1 arrives, don’t be surprised if No. 7 is right back where he belongs—shadowing WR1s and stealing hearts across Cowboys Nation.
