Summary

Story summary

Trevon Diggs, the Dallas Cowboys cornerback, will miss his second consecutive game due to a concussion from a home accident.
Stephen Jones indicated Diggs might be placed on injured reserve because of his injury history, including a torn ACL in 2023.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said Diggs has not practiced this week and is unlikely to play versus the Denver Broncos, so other cornerbacks will fill the gap.

History

Historical Context

The NFL's concussion crisis intensified after 3,500 former players filed lawsuits in 2011, revealing long-term health risks linked to repeated head injuries. In response, the league implemented new protocols to enhance player safety, including mandatory evaluations by independent consultants. Despite these efforts, reported concussions increased by 18% since 2022, highlighting ongoing challenges in protecting athletes from brain injuries.
