Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs will miss Sunday’s Week 7 matchup against the Washington Commanders after suffering what head coach Brian Schottenheimer described as a concussion sustained “in an at-home accident.” The announcement immediately fueled speculation among fans, especially after news surfaced that Diggs had listed his $4 million Texas mansion for sale just days before the injury was made public.

As a result, Diggs has a concussion & he won’t play Sunday.
Schottenheimer confirmed the details on Friday, saying Diggs reported to the team facility showing concussion symptoms after the accident on Thursday night. “He was evaluated by the team’s medical staff and placed in concussion protocol,” Schottenheimer said, via the Associated Press.
“It’s part of the business. It’s unfortunate,” Schottenheimer continued. “This is the NFL. If you’re unsure what’s going to happen, just wait because something is going to happen. You deal with it. The biggest thing is just the concern for Trevon and that he’s OK. And it seems like he is.”
The timing of Diggs’ home listing and injury has caused plenty of discussion online.
Realtor.com reported that “Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs will be missing from the football field during Sunday’s game after suffering from a mysterious injury that he sustained in an at-home accident, just months after he listed the Texas dwelling for $4 million.”
NFL insider Josina Anderson attempted to calm speculation, insisting that no trade is currently in the works. Still, the combination of a mysterious injury, a high-profile real estate move, and Diggs’ past issues with the team has left fans wondering if his time in Dallas could be coming to an end.
Trade Rumors Surround Cowboys Star Amid Ongoing Tension

Trade speculation surrounding Diggs isn’t new. Tension between the cornerback and the Cowboys organization reportedly dates back to 2023, when he suffered a torn ACL during practice before Week 3. He chose to use his own medical team for rehabilitation instead of the team’s staff — a decision that didn’t sit well with owner Jerry Jones.
When Diggs suffered another injury late in the 2024 season, he again opted for independent rehab, leading to the team withholding $500,000 from his salary. Asked if the Cowboys ever paid him back once he returned healthy by Week 1, Diggs laughed off the question.
The 26-year-old has also publicly supported teammate Micah Parsons amid his own contract dispute with the front office, which some believe created additional friction with team management. While Diggs signed a five-year, $97 million contract extension in 2023, his relationship with the Cowboys has appeared strained since.
The Cowboys have struggled defensively in his absence. They enter Week 7 at 2-3-1 and rank last in the NFL in both total yards and passing yards allowed. Facing the Commanders and reigning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels, Dallas will need to find answers fast.
Washington will be without wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, both out due to injuries. That gives the Cowboys defense a small advantage, but the absence of Diggs — one of the league’s top cover corners — remains a major loss.
