The Dallas Cowboys’ season has already been a wild ride (and not in a good way). But now it’s getting even crazier — star cornerback Trevon Diggs reportedly suffered a concussion at home. Not in practice. Not during a game. At home.
Yes, the Cowboys’ defense — already a mess — just got worse before Sunday’s matchup against the Washington Commanders. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters on Friday.

So, let’s get this straight — Diggs was practicing all week, perfectly fine… and then suddenly, something happened at night that landed him in concussion protocol? What exactly went down at home? Did a ceiling fan attack him? Did he lose a battle with his microwave?
Schottenheimer added more details:

The Cowboys, sitting at 2–3–1 after losing to the Carolina Panthers, desperately need a win. But now their defensive star will be sidelined — trading the field for a couch, an ice pack, and maybe some Netflix.
Schottenheimer later told reporters,
Breaking: Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs is in the concussion protocol and will miss Sunday’s game after an “accident at his home” last night, per Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Schottenheimer said they’re gathering info. He added that Diggs seems to be doing OK.
The good news: Diggs “seems to be doing OK.”
The bad news: the Cowboys’ defense absolutely isn’t.
Social media is having a field day with this one — “Even Cowboys defenders aren’t safe at home.” Another fan joked, “Might be time to upgrade that home security team.”
At this point, Cowboys fans are probably wondering: “If next week someone gets injured in the kitchen, are we finishing the season on Zoom?”
