Jerry Jones Declares His Confidence: 'Trevon Diggs' Injury is Just a Small Setback, We’ll Keep Moving Forward'
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is sending a clear message to fans, teammates, and the league: The Cowboys are undeterred by Trevon Diggs' concussion and will continue to press forward with their season. In a recent interview, Jones expressed his unwavering confidence in both Diggs' ability to recover and the team’s overall strength in the face of adversity.
"We don’t need to worry about this injury," Jones said. "Trevon is a warrior, and we believe he’ll come back stronger. The team has a clear plan, and we’ll continue to fight, regardless of who’s missing. This is just a small challenge in our long journey."
Jones' words echo the sentiment that despite the setback, the Cowboys' season remains on track. Diggs, a key player in the secondary, was forced to leave the game against the Washington Commanders after suffering a concussion in a mysterious home accident. The injury temporarily sidelined the standout cornerback, but Jones and head coach Brian Schottenheimer both insist that the defense is equipped to handle his absence in the short term.
Trevon Diggs has been a key contributor to the Cowboys’ defensive success over the past few seasons. Known for his ability to lock down wide receivers and create turnovers, Diggs’ absence will undoubtedly leave a void in the secondary. However, Jones has made it clear that the Cowboys have the depth to continue competing at a high level.
“The injury is unfortunate, but it’s not something that’s going to derail us," Jones continued. "We’ve built a strong team with talented players all around, and we’ll adapt to the situation. Trevon will be back as soon as he’s ready, but in the meantime, we’ve got others stepping up to get the job done.”
The Cowboys have a number of capable players who will look to fill the gap left by Diggs, including veteran cornerback Anthony Brown and rookie Kelvin Joseph. The defensive line, led by Micah Parsons, will also play a crucial role in maintaining pressure on opposing quarterbacks and keeping the defense strong.
As the Cowboys prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, all eyes will be on Diggs’ recovery and the team’s ability to weather this storm. But with Jones' leadership and a roster full of talented players, Dallas remains focused on the bigger picture.
In the end, Jerry Jones' message is one of resilience and determination. "We’ve got a plan, we’ve got the talent, and we’ll continue moving forward. This injury is just a small bump in the road."
Carson Wentz Issues Clear Words After Vikings Fall to Chargers
It was a rough night on October 23 for the Minnesota Vikings, who were handed a 37-10 loss by the
There wasn’t much to take away for Minnesota in this one, as the team will need to assess what went wrong and quickly move on from the blowout. Once sitting at 3-2 in the 2025 NFL season, the Vikings have dropped two straight to fall to 3-4.
Despite falling below .500, veteran Carson Wentz is confident the group will bounce back heading into their Week 9 game against NFC North rival the Detroit Lions.
“I just know the guys in that locker room,”
“I have a lot of confidence in the guys. Hopefully we can keep getting some guys back healthy, all that stuff. This was a short week. This was a tough one. We just didn’t have it tonight. The NFL is weird. It’s hard to win, hard to be consistent. So at the end of the day, just turn the page and go attack it next week.”
Will the Minnesota Bounce Back After Loss to Chargers?
Minnesota get a few extra days to get ready for the Lions. It won’t be an easy matchup, but Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, much like Wentz, believes in the group’s ability to respond and
“I believe in our players, wholeheartedly,” O’Connell said (h/t Pro Football Talk).. “I believe in every opportunity we have, we’re gonna go out there and put our best foot forward, both on the practice field and every opportunity we have as a team; I think we’ll be able to get, you know, healthy in some spots here that, you know, are critical for our ability to have success.
“But once again, injuries and any other excuse if you go looking for them you’ll find them. We will not be doing that. We’re going to meet this head on as an organization. And that’s what we’re gonna do.”
Vikings Will Need to Learn From Poor Performance
There are a lot of aspects of the Vikings’ game that they will need to improve on heading into Week 9. O’Connell was straightforward about the outcome, admitting the Chargers outperformed his team in every area.
“We got outplayed,” O’Connell added. “We got outcoached; we did not — there are no excuses. Injuries, short week, whatever it is, that is not in any way, shape, or form our standard of what we want to put on the field, and we’ve got — as I told our team — we’ve got an opportunity in front of us where we need to own this.
“This is not a bury the tape kind of time for our organization. This is a ‘watch it, view it, own it’. Every coach, every player. And it starts with me. I did not have our team prepared to play.”
