The Cowboys (3-3-1) ruled out Diggs for Sunday's visit to Denver (5-2). He missed last week's 44-22 victory over Washington. Diggs had the accident at home three days before that game.
Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday that Diggs was still in concussion protocol and the club had more information about what happened at Diggs' house. He deferred to Diggs for revealing those details.
Diggs, who was limited to a total of 13 games the previous two seasons because of major knee injuries, wasn't in the locker room when it was open to reporters Friday.
Executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said on his radio show Friday that Diggs also was dealing with issues related to previous injuries. Schottenheimer and Jones said Diggs could go on injured reserve. He will miss at least four more games if Dallas makes that move.
Diggs was considered ahead of schedule when he played in the opener after another offseason of rehabbing a knee injury, but the 2021 All-Pro has struggled in the team’s primarily zone scheme under first-year defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus.
