Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs active vs. Falcons

Dallas Cowboys All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs is active for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Diggs, who was listed as questionable, did not participate in practice this week while dealing with a calf injury sustained in Dallas’ 30-24 setback to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Signed to a five-year, $97 million contract extension in the summer of 2023, Diggs has recorded 28 tackles and an interception in seven games (all starts) this season.

While Diggs is active, the Cowboys (3-4) will be without running back Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott did not travel with the team because of disciplinary reasons, multiple outlets reported.

Fellow running back Rico Dowdle is expected to be back in action after sitting out the 49ers game due to illness. Dalvin Cook was elevated from the practice squad for the second straight week.

The Cowboys listed linebacker Micah Parsons, quarterback Trey Lance, cornerbacks Andrew Booth and DaRon Bland, defensive end K.J. Henry and offensive tackle Matt Waletzko as inactive.

As for the Falcons (5-3), they listed the following players as inactive: running back Jase McClellan, linebackers JD Bertrand and Troy Andersen, defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus, offensive linemen Elijah Wilkinson and Jovaughn Gwyn, and tackle Brandon Parker.
