Dallas team leader Dak Prescott, when asked what happened with Diggs, said, “I’m not going to speak on anything. It’s way too early. I saw what I guess a couple of you saw, him leaving the field. But prayers, hoping for the best.”
The knee issue may have occurred during some 1-on-1 work as the 2-0 Cowboys prepped for Sundays Week 3 visit to the winless Arizona Cardinals.
Diggs has qualified for two straight Pro Bowls and was named a first-team All-Pro after a career year in 2021 during which he recorded a league-leading 11 interceptions.
In two games played this season, Diggs has recorded four tackles, three passes defensed, a forced fumble and an interception, with opposing quarterbacks having completed just 2 of 8 passes for 26 yards and one interception when throwing at Diggs, who has therefore earned an absurdly good 1.0 QB rating in coverage.
Diggs and the Cowboys this fall agreed to a five-year, $97 million extension, with the deal for the 2020 second-round pick including a $21.25 million signing bonus and a possible value worth up to $104 million with incentives.
