It is what it is, try to focus on next week, see if I can show them whatever they want to see. I&#8217;m going to show them and go from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The bigger question now for Diggs is why he hasn&#8217;t been on the field. Cowboys owner\/GM Jerry Jones said following Dallas&#8217; 34-26 loss to the Vikings on Sunday night that Diggs &#8220;isn&#8217;t healthy enough to be out there for us, period.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to look at practices,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;If they practice good enough, whether it&#8217;s a limitation that they&#8217;ve had in recent games or a long-term injury, you&#8217;ve got to make your mind up when you see them practice. When you looked at practice, we didn&#8217;t like what we saw relative to his health and ability to make plays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Diggs on the other hand believes that he feels well enough physically to go out and play.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I hope I can play. I hope they decide I can play,&#8221; Diggs said. &#8220;I feel good enough to play, so we&#8217;ll just have to see. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s not my decision. Me personally, I feel good, I feel healthy, I feel ready. So I just got to wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked what the explanation he was given was, Diggs said he wasn&#8217;t sure.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel good, I feel good enough to play. I practiced all week, so I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s not my decision, it&#8217;s not my call\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From the first conversation that we had, I guess I wasn&#8217;t showing them what they wanted to see in practice. And this week, I showed them what they wanted to see in practice, and it still was the same result. I don&#8217;t know what else I need to do or need to show. At this point, I feel like it&#8217;s not up to me or what I do, it&#8217;s really up to them and what they want to do. I&#8217;m just showing up every day and going to work.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dallas&#8217; defense struggled on Sunday night against Minnesota, especially against the pass. 250 of the Vikings&#8217; 327 total yards of offense came through air, which Diggs admitted was difficult to watch for him because of the impact he feels he can make.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, I want to be out there helping the guys win,&#8221; Diggs said. &#8220;So yeah, it makes it hard to watch because I feel like I can contribute and be there, so yeah, it&#8217;s painful to watch. I want to play\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like I can make a big difference. I feel like I can contribute. I feel I can help this team win.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The next decision that Dallas will have to make on Diggs comes in just a few days, with his 21-day practice window closing on December 20 where he&#8217;ll either need to be activated or remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the season. There&#8217;s also a decision to made following his future, and he reiterated he wants to remain in Dallas after this season.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, I love Dallas. Dallas is a great place,&#8221; Diggs said when asked about if he wants to be with the Cowboys next season. &#8220;I&#8217;ve built great relationships with these guys, they&#8217;re like my brothers, so of course I want to be here. But at the end of the day, it&#8217;s a business. I don&#8217;t know what the future holds, it&#8217;s in God&#8217;s hands. I&#8217;m just doing what I can do, showing up where I can show up, and go from there.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Diggs added that he was &#8220;upset&#8221; with the teams decision to keep him inactive, and voiced those frustrations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":448455,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[201255,1292,1296,62,30501,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-448454","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-featured-minvsdal-2025","9":"tag-news-all-news","10":"tag-news-tommy-yarrish","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-trevon-diggs","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115723178190863816","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448454"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448454\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448455"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448454"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448454"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
