Dallas Cowboys not a starting corner defender Trevon Diggs, Anthony Brown vs. Philadelphia Eagles

PHILADELPHIA – The Dallas Cowboys are without their starting corner kicks, including NFL breaker manager Trevon Diggs, in Saturday’s match against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Diggs is ill even though his COVID-19 test was negative and he is not traveling to Philadelphia. He had been questionable. Anthony Brown, who has started each game, was placed on the reserve / COVID-19 list earlier this week.

Diggs is the first player in 40 years to record at least 11 breaks and joined former Cowboy Everson Walls, who made an achievement in 1981. With Diggs and Brown leaving, the Cowboys are likely to start with rookie Kelvin Joseph, the second-round pick. , and possibly Maurice Canady, and Jourdan Lewis will remain in his slot game. He returned the cut to 59 yards on contact in the first match against the Eagles in September.

The Cowboys also rule out starting safety for Jayron Kearsen, who has a thigh injury, and runner Tony Pollard, who has suffered a leg sprain. Safety Donovan Wilson, who is also ill, did not fly with the team to Philadelphia, but he has not yet been ruled out.

Earlier this week, coach Mike McCarthy said the Cowboys will play against their rookie Eagles, even if they need losses from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Los Angeles Rams to get second seed in the NFC playoffs. victory over Philadelphia. If the Cowboys made a triple draw with the Buccaneers, Rams, or Arizona Cardinals, they would take second place based on the conference record.

Most likely, the Cowboys will remain the 4th seed and will face either the Cardinals, to whom they lost last week, or Rams.

Based on the Roster lineup, McCarthy could choose whether to play his rookie or regular players against the Eagles and leave to back up a good portion of the game.

McCarthy was confident that players currently on the COVID-19 list, including Brown and left tackle Tyron Smith, who also won’t play on Saturday, will be available in the first round of the playoffs.
