Tragedy has struck the Dallas Cowboys fans. Just when they thought the team had taken off for good this season with a 2-0 record, things have gone downhill. The NFC East franchise has lost one of the key players to a knee injury. A team that has seven takeaways without an offensive turnover, followed by ten sacks, surely wouldn’t want a defensive setback. However, the announcement of the 25-year-old Cowboys’ players’ exit raised concern among fans including Boston Celtics veteran Kevin Garnett.

The player in question is none other than Trevon Diggs. The organization later confirmed that the 2021 First team All-Pro tore his ACL. Nothing has been mentioned about the time of his comeback. However, the organization informed that the player will not be able to return for this season.

Now that the 2x pro Bowler is out of the picture, what do you think the future holds for the team? So far, they had a great start. This was an exciting week for the Cowboys. After defeating the New York Jets, Dallas moved to 2-0. They are the fifth team in the Super Bowl era to score 70 points in the first two games. 

Trevon Diggs’ message for his fans

Diggs also shared an update on his Twitter handle that might make Kevin Garnett happy. Expressing his gratitude, he wrote, “Thank you for all the prayers and I appreciate everyone for checking on me! This is just God’s Plan. I will be back and better.!” 

The injury has also impacted Diggs’ personal plans. The unfortunate incident happened soon after he turned 25. The defensive star had plans to enjoy at a Beyonce concert, which now is a distant dream.
