Trevon Diggs returned from offseason knee surgery and played 27 of 63 defensive snaps in Dallas’ season-opening loss to Philadelphia, signaling a cautious ramp back. Dallas leaned zone in passing, limiting big plays while Diggs earned a top team coverage grade (76.1) from Pro Football Focus. His comments about the rehab process suggest a slow, steady climb in snap counts, potentially boosted if DaRon Bland’s issue lingers. For fantasy, Diggs’ floor remains solid with a growing ceiling as he nears a fuller role.

Amid the shift in rotation, Diggs’ health and the Cowboys’ nickel flexibility could shape future snap totals. If Bland returns soon, Diggs may sit in a 40–60% snap range, but any extended absence for Bland or increased blitz/zone nuance could push Diggs into more on-field opportunities. The week-to-week calculus centers on maintenance, pace, and the evolving personnel allied in the secondary.
