Micah Parsons Criticizes Cowboys’ Handling of Trevon Diggs’ Injury
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons voiced strong criticism today, October 28, 2025, regarding the team’s handling of cornerback Trevon Diggs’ recent placement on injured reserve.
Parsons expressed concern over Diggs’ recovery from a previous knee injury and subsequent concussion, stating, “Honestly, I feel like they fucked my dog over, you know what I mean?” He questioned the decision to allow Diggs to play in Weeks 1 and 2 with limited practice time, adding, “He’s coming off a catastrophic knee injury and I just didn’t think they did right by him.” Parsons further asserted that the organization “let him down” and that forcing Diggs to play without adequate preparation was “mad wrong.”
Diggs suffered a concussion before the Week 7 victory against the Washington Commanders and was subsequently placed on injured reserve prior to Week 8. His contract is not guaranteed beyond 2025, with a base salary of $14.5 million scheduled for 2026. This situation raises questions about the Cowboys’ long-term plans for the star cornerback and the potential impact on their defensive strategy; you can find more information about Diggs’ contract details here.
The Cowboys have declined to comment on Parsons’ statements. Concerns about player safety and team medical decisions are increasingly scrutinized in the NFL, making this a potentially significant issue for the organization.
The team is expected to address Diggs’ long-term recovery plan in the coming days.
