The Cowboys have waived cornerback Trevon Diggs. The move ends a tumultuous final season a game early in a Dallas career that never lived up to the promise of a 2021 All-Pro performance that included 11 interceptions. The move came five days before Dallas’ season finale Sunday at the New York Giants. Diggs will be a free agent after clearing waivers. Diggs missed eight games after sustaining a concussion in an accident at home. The team said Diggs’ delayed return was more about issues with the 27-year-old’s knees.

Trevon Diggs is playing for the Dallas Cowboys in their home finale against the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s the cornerback’s first action since sustaining a concussion in an accident at home two months ago. The Cowboys have said the delay in Diggs’ return was due to lingering issues with his knees. He has had surgery on his left knee twice in the past two years. The Cowboys are also without defensive tackle Quinnen Williams. He exited with a concussion 10 days ago in a loss to Minnesota. It’s the first game Williams has missed since joining Dallas in a trade with the New York Jets in November.
