FRISCO – “Fake News.”<\/p>\n

Maybe\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0COO Stephen Jones somehow misspoke.<\/p>\n

Or maybe someone somehow misunderstood his words.<\/p>\n

Or maybe somebody is just making stuff up and stirring stuff up about cornerback Trevon Diggs and his efforts to work his way back from his 2024 season-ending knee surgery.<\/p>\n

But however we got here, there are now news stories and online debates asking, “Will Diggs be ready when the team kicks off the season in September?”<\/p>\n

The answer?<\/p>\n

“Fake news,” a\u00a0Cowboys\u00a0source tells CowboysCountry.com … and here’s why.<\/p>\n

There has at no point in this process ever been a responsible report from inside The Star suggesting with any realism that Diggs would be healthy by the start of September 2025.<\/p>\n

How did we get here?<\/p>\n

The Pro Bowl playmaker battled through a calf injury to start the first 10 games of the season … but then his knee flared up, sidelining him for two games. Diggs returned to played a full game in Week 14, but was shut down for surgery shortly after.<\/p>\n

That surgery was finally performed in late February as he\u00a0underwent chondral tissue graft surgery on his left knee.<\/p>\n

As we reported at the time, that procedure and the ensuing rehab would sideline him for a period of at least eight months.<\/p>\n

That timeline doesn’t allow a return for training camp in Oxnard in July.<\/p>\n

In fact – do the math – it suggests a fully healthy return in … November.<\/p>\n

Injuries have become a bugaboo for Diggs over the last two years, all after signing his new $20 million per year contract.<\/p>\n

He tore his ACL after just two games in 2023, and that required an extensive rehab process that sidelined him until August 2024. … along with whispers from the organization that he didn’t rehab with the proper intensity.<\/p>\n

That’s something that team owner Jerry Jones recently said openly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s more subject to injury. He\u2019s learned that one time,\u201d said Jones. \u201cMy point is, I have a lot of hope that his actual rehab and experience from the time before is really helping him out, and I think it has.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones insisted that this time, Diggs is \u201cworking hard\u201d with hopes that his rehab process will allow him to come back \u201cquicker\u201d and \u201csounder.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Sounder”? Fine.<\/p>\n

“Quicker”? Let’s not go there.<\/p>\n

It’s not fair to report or suggest that\u00a0Diggs is somehow supposed to beat the clock on the eight-month rehab process. Nor is it responsible to suggest he should somehow accelerate everything because there is pressure coming from on third-round pick Shavon Revel Jr. (who by the way has to his own recovery from a knee injury to deal with he is not expected to be ready for the start of training camp in Oxnard.)<\/p>\n

The Cowboys need to do this right.<\/p>\n

Trevon Diggs needs to do this right.<\/p>\n

And anybody with a hand in spreading “fake news”? Let’s all try to do that right, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
