Dallas Cowboys Rally to Beat Eagles, Face Chiefs Next

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys staged an inspiring comeback on Sunday, overcoming a 21-0 deficit to defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 with a last-second field goal by Brandon Aubrey. This victory may have saved their season, leaving them with a 5-5-1 record as they prepare for a crucial matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving.

Cornerback Trevon Diggs, who has missed the last five games due to a concussion and knee injury, is unlikely to return in time for the game against Kansas City. “Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs may be eligible to be activated off injured reserve, but it likely won’t happen prior to Thursday’s game,” commented Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News.

Diggs suffered a concussion while at home, and details surrounding the incident remain unclear. He was already dealing with a knee injury from a previous season-ending surgery. Coach Brian Schottenheimer noted, “He’s doing better, but it’s challenging with only three days to prepare ahead of the Chiefs game.”

Diggs, 27, was a standout player for Dallas, making the Pro Bowl the last two years and recording 14 pass deflections and three interceptions in 2022. His injuries, however, have hindered his performance this year, as he has not achieved a single pass breakup in six games.

With three years left on his contract, Diggs faces a $23.4 million salary cap hit in 2027, raising speculation about his future with the team amid ongoing trade rumors.

The Cowboys’ recent win provides a much-needed morale boost as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive against the AFC Champions. As the team prepares, questions about Diggs’ readiness hang in the air, making the Thanksgiving matchup crucial.
