Diggs' 2024 season was cut short after a knee injury. On Sunday, it was reported that Diggs would be removed from the PUP list, then fans got a glimpse of him in action for the first time this season during Monday's practice.

After practice, Diggs spoke to the media on a potential return to game action and if that would happen in Week 1.

“Physically, I don’t have any limitations. It’s really just ramping up the conditioning part, getting back to football speed, getting back to in-game speed. That’s pretty much it,” Diggs told Jon Machota of The Athletic.

The two-time Pro Bowler did not rule out a return in Week 1. Having Diggs back on the field to open the season would be huge for the Cowboys' defense.
