Trevon Diggs injury update: Dallas Cowboys DB unexpectedly appears on Wednesday practice report for Bears game

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs appeared on the injury report Wednesday following practice. He did not participate due to an illness.

Diggs was one of four players listed on the initial injury report ahead of this week’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. He was also one of two players who did not practice, joining fellow cornerback DaRon Bland, who’s dealing with a foot injury.

Offensive lineman Tyler Guyton and wide receiver KaVontae Turpin both practiced in a limited capacity. Here are the full Wednesday injury reports for the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears.

Bland’s injury came about last week as the Cowboys got ready to take on the New York Giants in Week 2, which ended with an overtime victory. Jerry Jones said he could have a chance of making his return against Chicago, which was a shift from defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus’ comments in the lead-up to the Giants game.

“It’s obviously unfortunate for him,” Eberflus said, per Jon Machota of The Athletic. “He’ll be working with the medical staff. No timetable for his return.”

The Cowboys defense is also getting ready to take on a new look after adding a high-profile free agent. Jadeveon Clowney is now on board to help with the pass rush after signing a one-year contract last week. He spent last year with the Carolina Panthers, where he totaled 46 tackles, nine tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks before entering free agency.

As for how much he has left in the tank, Clowney, 32, said he doesn’t feel his age at all. He’s ready to get out on the field and prove himself, with the Bears game as his first opportunity to do so.

“I got seven primetime games to prove and show the world,” Clowney said. “That was my whole thought on coming down here. I get to play primetime and put myself out there again. Sky is the limit again for me. I don’t feel like I’m getting old. Terence Crawford just beat somebody at (37) years old. I got a lot left in the tank.”
