Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has missed the first two phases of the team’s offseason program while rehabbing from knee surgery.
Diggs could lose $500,000 from his base salary as a result of not participating in the Cowboys’ offseason program.
Diggs had the surgery done in Miami, away from the team. His absence from OTAs and minicamp could result in additional fines for the two-time Pro Bowler. He has to complete 84.375% of the program to keep the $500,000.
Any player who doesn’t show up to minicamp could be fined.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke with Diggs last week and said that “all signs are positive.”
Diggs has struggled with injuries during his time in the NFL. In 2023, he tore his ACL, which sidelined him for most of the season. He has only played 13 over the last two seasons.
Diggs also underwent a chondral tissue graft in January 2025, a procedure in which pieces of bone and cartilage were transplanted to his knee.
The Cowboys dealt with injuries in their defensive backfield last season, including DaRon Bland, who missed 10 games.
If Diggs has a successful rehab, the Cowboys hope their cornerbacks can stay healthy for the duration of the season.
