The Falcons are ready to host the Cowboys in this week 9 face-off, and on paper, this might look like a clear call. Why? Well, Atlanta’s sitting pretty at 5-3, while Dallas is in the hot seat at 3-4. So, hedge your bets with the Falcons, right? Um, not so fast… A late-game twist just dropped, and it could make things interesting for America’s Team.

Turns out, Trevon Diggs is suiting up! ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that Diggs passed his pregame workout and is set to play today. Now, what are we saying Cowboys Nation? Pumped, enough? Imagine getting your All-Pro CB right before you are about to face a tough offense. Yeah, that’s gold.

It’s been a wild week for Diggs. Just last week, after a tough loss to the 49ers, he got into it with a media member over a tweet. Sure, he did make amends. But it didn’t stop there. He joined the Cowboys’ lengthy injury list with a calf tear. And throughout the week, his updates weren’t bringing much joy.

Diggs missed Wednesday’s practice. Oh! Wait. He skipped it on Thursday… and Friday too. Things looked dicey, and with a “questionable” game designation, it seemed like Diggs wouldn’t be making the trip to Atlanta. But here we are!

To be honest, he made it just in time to save Dallas from some shame (if he does). That’s because, so far, this D has been digging up its own troubled path.

Can Trevon Diggs pull the Cowboys out of the defensive woes?

The Cowboys are sitting below .500 at 3-4. And… the back-to-back losses. Yikes! So, things haven’t been pretty. They stumbled out of the gate post-bye week, and only a last-minute push kept their game against the 49ers from going off the rails (and they still lost!). Now, up next, it’s the Falcons and Kirk Cousins—fresh off dismantling the Bucs in week 8. Talk about the troubles lining up.

But that’s where Trevon Diggs’ update brings some relief to the camp. This is huge for Dallas, especially with their defense looking a little like a revolving door. No DaRon Bland, no Micah Parsons—yup, their top-edge rushers are still out. Diggs’ presence on the active list feels like finding a four-leaf clover in Jerry World. Stopping Cousins and his air game without Diggs would’ve been a tall order. But with him back? Well, suddenly things don’t seem so grim.

To recap Diggs’ season so far: 23 solo tackles, 5 assists, and an interception across seven games. He has clearly been massive, and his ability to read offenses like a book is exactly what the Cowboys need right now.

But hey, let’s be real here—Diggs missed all three practices this week. So expecting him to be at peak form right off the bat is probably a stretch. Still, sometimes, just having your star back could be enough to have that confidence to tilt the momentum in your favor. What do you think: can Trevon Diggs alone solve the problems?
