Star receiver’s injury robs Cowboys of dream game in Week 11

For the second year in a row, we were supposed to have Stefon Diggs vs. Trevon Diggs. Also for the second year in a row, it will not happen due to an ACL tear.

In 2023, Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs tore his ACL prior to Week 3. That meant when the Cowboys traveled to play the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, he would not be facing his brother, Stefon Diggs.

This year we should see the two go at it again, with Trevon healthy and Stefon now a member of the Houston Texans. The two teams are scheduled to play Monday Night Football in Week 11, but again the brothers will not meet.

Houston announced Tuesday that their star receiver will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL on Sunday. The elder Diggs went down while running a route, and while he was able to get off under his own power, there was plenty of concern.

The Texans are 6-2 and could be a nightmare for Dallas thanks to a powerful running game led by Joe Mixon. They should also have Nico Collins back by then. The fourth-year wideout led the league in receiving yardage before suffering a hamstring injury and will pose a significant threat to the Cowboys’ secondary.
