Diggs, who injured his left knee during a 1-on-1 drill in practice, was spotted with crutches inside "The Star," the Cowboys’ training facility, Thursday. 

Reports say an MRI confirmed what the Cowboys had feared with Diggs, and they released a statement through ESPN stating he is "currently projected to miss the remainder of the current season."

Diggs is in his fourth year with the Cowboys after being drafted in the second round in 2020. In just two games, he had tallied one interception, three passes defended, one forced fumble and four tackles to help aid a ferocious Dallas defense that’s been vital to its 2-0 start. 

The Cowboys will now have to move forward in their journey toward a hopeful Super Bowl run without one of their best players on the field each week.

Diggs just signed a five-year, $97 million extension with the Cowboys, which included a $21.25 million signing bonus and $42.304 million guaranteed, before training camp kicked off this year. 

Owner Jerry Jones was certain Diggs had solidified himself as one of the star corners in the league. Lock him down, as well as safeties Donovan Wilson and Malik Hooker, was a priority this offseason.
