Brian Schottenheimer and Jerry Jones both said postgame Sunday that they expect cornerback Trevon Diggs to return soon. Monday was not the day.<\/p>\n
Schottenheimer said Diggs checked in with the Cowboys\u2019 medical staff on Monday and was sent home from the team facility. Diggs remains in concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
Diggs had an \u201caccident\u201d at his home on Thursday night, leaving him with a head injury. The Cowboys ruled him out for Sunday\u2019s game, but they have not elaborated on how Diggs was injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe combination of the injury and how it impacted . . . regarding a concussion issue, I\u2019m not so sure that I know the detail of how that happened,\u201d Jones said. \u201cNot the way I would if there had been an injury on the field. We normally would see that on TV, see how an injury happens, and in this particular case, it was unrecorded.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jones said Diggs explained what happened, but Jones sounded as if he wasn\u2019t buying it.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh he said what happened,\u201d Jones said. \u201cBut again, and I\u2019m not saying that didn\u2019t happen, but a lot of times you\u2019re not the best viewer of what happened to you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Cowboys got some better news on other injured players. Schottenheimer said Monday that the team will open the 21-day practice window for starting linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee), rookie cornerback Shavon Revel (knee) and starting center Cooper Beebe (ankle). They will activate wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (knee) as his 21-day window expires this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brian Schottenheimer and Jerry Jones both said postgame Sunday that they expect cornerback Trevon Diggs to return soon.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240046,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-240045","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240045","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240045"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240045\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240046"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240045"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240045"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240045"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
