FRISCO, Texas (AP) --- Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss
Sunday's game against Washington after sustaining a concussion in an accident
at his house, coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday.
Diggs had concussion symptoms when he reported to the team's facility Friday
after the accident Thursday night, Schottenheimer said. He was evaluated by the
team's medical staff and placed in concussion protocol.
Schottenheimer said he didn't have any other information on what happened to
Diggs, who played in the first six games after spending the offseason rehabbing
a major knee injury for the second consecutive year.
"It's part of the business. It's unfortunate," Schottenheimer said. "This is
the NFL. If you're unsure what's going to happen, just wait because something
is going to happen. You deal with it. The biggest thing is just the concern for
Trevon and (is) he OK. And it seems like he is."
The Cowboys (2-3-1) are last in the NFL in yards allowed and passing yards
allowed heading into the meeting with the Commanders and reigning AP NFL
Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels. Washington will be without top
receiver Terry McLaurin, who will miss his fourth consecutive game with a
quadriceps injury.
Diggs' sudden absence comes with the Cowboys expecting star receiver CeeDee
Lamb to return after missing three games with a high ankle sprain.
