Cowboys' Jerry Jones reveals Trevon Diggs' 'biggest problem'
All-Pro corner Trevon Diggs and his future with the Dallas Cowboys have been a hot topic over the past couple of weeks, and it is mostly due to the mystery surrounding what is going on with him.
A concussion reportedly occurred at his house, causing him to miss a game. The Cowboys then placed Diggs on IR, ruling him out for four weeks, which is now being reported as a knee issue, not his repaired knee from last year.
It is all rather odd, and with the Cowboys keeping the information close to their chests, it leads many to speculate about what is really going on. Some think Diggs' days are numbered in Dallas, with a trade or cut likely in the offseason, and that is the vibe I'm getting right now.
And for owner Jerry Jones, he's detailed what Trevon's biggest problem is right now.
"Diggs's biggest problem is he's injured and it's not the same knee that he's been doing his rehab with," Jerry said on 105.3 The Fan. "So that's his number one challenge. Unfortunately, he's got a handful of challenges here that are physically related, and that's why the status he's got today."
Has Diggs played his last game as a Cowboy?
That is the general feeling on social media, with some thinking Trevon could even be traded before the deadline, despite being on IR.
And Jerry, when asked if he thought Trevon had played his last game for Dallas, gave a typical Jerry answer.
"I don't see that today at all," Jerry added.
Hmm, "today" Jerry doesn't see it, but what about in a week's time? Who knows, but what we do know is that things appear to be going south with Diggs and the Cowboys.
Given the problems that seem to have come about over the past few weeks, Dallas might be asking itself if No. 7 is worth keeping around, because right now, it doesn't feel like it.
Will Diggs be traded in-season? I doubt that, but in the offseason, a cut or trade feels inevitable.
Garrett Crochet Sets Red Sox Playoff Record with 11 Strikeouts in Game 1 of Wild Card Series, Tying 103-Year-Old Record Held by Smoky Joe Wood
In a historic performance during Game 1 of the Wild Card Series, Garrett Crochet made his mark on the Boston Red Sox record books, recording 11 strikeouts in a single playoff game. This impressive feat not only helped the Red Sox secure an early advantage but also tied the 103-year-old franchise record for strikeouts in a playoff game, set by the legendary Smoky Joe Wood.
Crochet’s dominant outing on the mound was a sight to behold. The 24-year-old lefty was in complete control, using a combination of power fastballs and sharp breaking balls to stymie the opposition’s offense. His ability to generate swings and misses throughout the game was a key factor in Boston’s 3-1 victory, putting them in a strong position to advance further in the postseason.
“It’s a special feeling to be mentioned alongside Smoky Joe Wood, a pitcher with such a rich legacy in this organization,” Crochet said after the game. “I just went out there and tried to do my job, focusing on each pitch and executing. The energy in the stadium was incredible, and I’m just happy I could help the team in a big moment like this.”
Crochet’s performance was a significant part of the Red Sox's success in Game 1, and it quickly became one of the most talked-about performances in the postseason. The 11 strikeouts matched a record that had stood for over a century, showcasing Crochet’s potential as one of the league’s rising stars.
Manager Alex Cora was full of praise for the young pitcher, highlighting his composure and effectiveness in the high-pressure environment of a playoff game. “Garrett was outstanding tonight. To tie a record like that in your first postseason appearance is remarkable,” Cora said. “He showed incredible poise and execution, and we’re excited to see what he can do in the next games.”
With Crochet’s historic performance setting the tone for the Red Sox, the team is now looking to build on this momentum as they aim for a deep playoff run. As the Red Sox continue their postseason journey, all eyes will be on Crochet, whose dominant pitching has already earned him a place in the team’s storied playoff history.
