The dream start of the Dallas Cowboys suffered a setback as Trevon Diggs, their star cornerback, was subjected to a major injury in the team’s practice. Diggs tore his Achilles and is possibly out for the entire season. This is a major blow for the Cowboys as the team was defensively in a decent shape and Diggs had a good role in it.
In the first two games, the Cowboys have kept the opposition quiet. In the game against the New York Giants, their defense was so clinical that the Giants failed to clinch a single point and in the game against the New York Jets, they only gave away ten points.
Questions are arising who is going to replace Trevon Diggs for the rest of the season? Trevon Diggs made a decent mark on the pitch since his arrival in the NFL. The player led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021 and the player has 52 pass breakups in 47 games. In addition to this, the CB was named to the Pro Bowl in the last two seasons and also was selected for the first-team-all-pro in 2021.
In this scenario, Jerry Jones is well aware of the fact that it will be difficult to replace such a player with this much quality. His remarks also reflected that fact. Appearing on The K&C Masterpiece on Audacy’s 105.3 The Fan, the veteran owner and the general manager said that is impossible for players who are already irreplaceable.
“No one has the impact he has. The facts are that we do have depth. We don’t have depth with somebody with his unique abilities, but we’ve got depth relative to playing the position,” the billionaire said.
“You can’t do that,” Jones said. “That’s just not real. That’s like saying that ‘I want to be Tom Cruise.’ You don’t replace these irreplaceable players,” he further added.
Who is going to replace Trevon Diggs in the Cowboys squad?
The Cowboys have a good depth in their squad this season. The team has five cornerbacks in the line to replace Trevon Diggs as a regular starter. These five names include the likes of Stephon Gilmore, who was traded from the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 season, Noah Igbinoghene who is the new addition from Dolphins camp, DaRon Bland, Eric Scott Jr., and Jourdan Lewis.
The Cowboys will get the chance to go with a new cornerback in the game vs. the Arizona Cardinals. It is to be seen who comes in as the starter. High possibilities are there that DaRon Bland, who was successful in his rookie year, can be the starter in the coming game.
