The Cowboys' unceremonious exit to the 2024 season has been long, painful, and gradual. In fact, the team's top players have been dropping out here and there, one at a time since before Week 1. Now, another one bites the dust.

Dallas will have to move forward facing another key absence in Trevon Diggs. The two-time Pro Bowler is expected to undergo season-ending knee surgery, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer and NFL insider Ed Werder.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs didn't travel with the team and will miss Sunday's game at Charlotte because of a lingering knee issue. Diggs was downgraded to out on the injury report Saturday.
