Trevon Diggs sends a simple yet slightly cryptic message that has Cowboys Nation speculating ahead of roster cuts
The Cowboys CB is unsure if he’ll play Week 1.
In a time where Dallas Cowboys fans eagerly hope a Micah Parsons contract extension happens despite a public feud between the star plater and front office, every social media post can be taken out of proportion.
Saturday morning provided a simple example: Cornerback Trevon Diggs changed his profile picture to an image of he and Parsons right after posting “Thank You God!” Several responses to the post are questions from fans asking if it means Parsons signed with the team.
Trevon Diggs’ post is unlikely to mean anything Parsons related
In reality, the post is unlikely to mean any of that. If it carries a football meaning, however, my guess would be it has more to do with his health and roster status. Diggs hasn’t practiced all offseason and preseason as he recovers from a knee injury but there’s a chance he plays Week 1.
“Maybe, maybe not,” Diggs told reporters when asked if he would play in the NFL Kickoff versus the Philadelphia Eagles, via ESPN’s Todd Archer.
Not only is his Week 1 status up in the air but so is his roster spot, in a way. Diggs is currently in the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP) and can remain there to avoid taking up a spot on the 53-man roster. If he does start the season on PUP, the Cowboys could use that spot in another player but Diggs would be forced to miss a minimum of four games. In other words, the Cowboys need to decide if they’re willing to cut a player to carry Diggs despite health uncertainty.
Perhaps Diggs’ post means he will make the cut. Perhaps he just woke up and wanted to thank God. We’ll find out soon enough as roster cuts are due by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
