Diggs has not played since Oct. 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
The Dallas Cowboys defense is likely to gain another reinforcement for next week’s game against the Detroit Lions.
Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Friday morning during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan (KRLD-FM) that cornerback Trevon Diggs, barring any setbacks, should make his return to action during the Thursday night matchup.
“He’ll be on the field,” Jones said. “Could have been on the field, wanted to be on the field (on Thanksgiving vs. Kansas City), but he’ll be on the field at Detroit, in my view.”
The Cowboys have yet to open his practice window after he was placed on injured reserve last month following a concussion he suffered at his home — an accident where details were scarce. Diggs has also dealt with a knee injury opposite of the one he had season-ending surgery on last year.

“He’s doing better,” Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said about Diggs on Monday ahead of the 31-28 victory over the Chiefs.
“One of the issues this week is that it’s a short week. Again, we’ll see what everybody does, but short weeks are a little harder.”

While Diggs hasn’t practiced yet, he has been seen during practice sprinting and going through workouts with other players on injured reserve.
And now, the Cowboys have a full seven-day week before facing the Lions.
