Former Cowboys All-Pro Linked to Rival NFC Team
The former All-Pro is trying to return after injuries limited him to 13 games across two seasons, and Detroit is weighing secondary depth.
- On Sunday, August 9, the Detroit Lions hosted a tryout for former All-Pro cornerback Trevon Diggs as the team explores potential additions to bolster their undermanned secondary.
- The Dallas Cowboys released the 27-year-old in December 2025 following a tenure marred by recurring knee injuries and a "home accident" where a television mount struck his head.
- Diggs led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021 during his All-Pro campaign, yet he failed to record an interception across 9 games last season as the Lions' cornerback corps totals just 13 career interceptions.
- While the Lions signed quarterback Josh Dobbs and linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga on Sunday, no contract has been reported for Diggs as the team continues evaluating internal options like Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
- Defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard downplayed the departure of former first-round pick Terrion Arnold, saying the current roster deserves respect as Detroit evaluates whether the veteran cornerback can regain his All-Pro form.
