Micah Parsons calls out Cowboys coaches for use of Trevon Diggs after injury: 'They f***ed my dog over'

Micah Parsons called out the Dallas Cowboys for how they have handled Trevon Diggs‘ health. While speaking with Yahoo Sports after the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, Parsons was asked what message he would tell Cowboys fans who have questions about Diggs’ health.

“Honestly, I feel like they f***ed my dog over, you know what I mean?” Micah Parsons said.  “He’s coming off a catastrophic knee injury, and I just didn’t think they did right by him. He didn’t participate all camp, and he’s going out there playing Week 1 and 2. I just don’t think you do that to a player like that.

“And the type of knee injury he had, they forced him out there. He has no reps, really. He’s telling me he was in warmup phase during Week 1. Even with the ramp-up, I just feel like you just don’t do that.”

Parsons was Diggs’ teammate when he was with the Cowboys from 2021 to 2024. His comments came after the Cowboys placed Trevon Diggs on injured reserve due to a concussion and a knee injury.

What bothers Parsons is that Diggs has been dealing with the knee injury nearly all year, and he missed all of training camp because he was recovering from having knee surgery, but he continued to play. Diggs has not recently spoken about his health since he’s in concussion protocol.

Diggs’ most recent appearance in a Cowboys game was on Oct. 12 when he recorded three tackles in the team’s 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers. After Dallas lost to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer talked about Diggs being placed on injured reserve.

“After visiting with the medical staff, we felt like the best interest of the team and Trevon was to get him back healthy,” Schottenheimer said. “Trevon’s going to work his ass off to get back. He loves playing the game, and I have no question in my mind that he’ll do everything to get back. But part of the deal is it’s not just us. It’s him. It’s the training staff.”

Parsons added that the Cowboys didn’t do Diggs any favors throughout the entire process. “I just feel like they screwed him over,” Parsons told Yahoo Sports. “The organization let him down. You know what I mean? You just don’t do that to a player. And I just think it was mad wrong, and I just pray for him.”
