The Dallas Cowboys are set to travel East for Sunday Night Football, facing off against another historic NFL Franchise. Pittsburgh will place host as the Steelers look to get their second consecutive win against Dallas, with the latest matchup taking place in 2020. Four years later, the two meet up once again.
Before getting there, injuries have been a topic surrounding the Cowboys leading into the game. Now, there is another star player to worry about as cornerback Trevon Diggs was added to Thursday’s injury report with an ankle problem. Diggs was listed as limited during practice.
A few other big-time names are dealing with issues heading into the Steelers matchup. You can check out the entire Thursday injury report here. Completely bolded lines were players added to the report on Thursday after not being there Wednesday.

Diggs has been healthy for the entire 2024 season but has popped up on previous injury reports. Thankfully for Dallas, the former All-Pro cornerback has played in all four games, recording three PBUs, 18 tackles, and an interception during the season opener against Cleveland.
The Cowboys have already begun the season without another All-Pro corner, DaRon Bland. He was placed on injured reserve to start the season and is still set to miss a few weeks. Bland made up for the absence of Diggs last year after a torn ACL hampered the former second-round pick.
We will have to wait to hear the official status of Diggs from head coach Mike McCarthy next time he speaks to the media.
