The Cowboys were hit with an injury concern on Thursday. One of their best defenders – Trevon Diggs suffered an injury during a training session, which was held outside on grass, and he was seen on crutches while leaving practice.
The team informed only that Diggs hurt his knee and the cornerback will be having an MRI as they evaluate the injury.
“Couple of you saw him leaving the field. So prayers, hoping for the best. Simple as that,” quarterback Dak Prescott said to ESPN.
With Trevon Diggs feared to have torn his ACL in a non-contact 1-on-1 drill at practice today, the Cowboys are looking at potentially losing one of their top defenders. https://t.co/sIMHehK9Ew

Diggs is a crucial part of a defense that has allowed just 10 points over the first two games. The nature of the injury would seem to make him unlikely to play against the Cardinals this Sunday and a long-term absence is very likely.
