Todd Archer, an ESPN NFL Nation reporter, has covered the Dallas Cowboys and the National Football League since 1997. He’s covered the team since 2003. When the circus drew to a close three years later, Stewart joined ESPN, and soon reestablished himself as a credible voice on franchise movements and other such developments. A few days before that, Archer published a big injury red flag on Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs. He’s been playing through a painful right knee-joint contusion the last few weeks.
The injury adds to the drama as the Cowboys approach their next game – a divisional matchup with the Washington Commanders. Diggs’ elite season continues. Diggs has been incredible since joining the squad. He’s racked up 20 tackles, one for loss, while making two pass breakups. His recurring recent knee issues have cast some doubt if he’ll be fit to face the game.
During a conversation with Archer, head coach Brian Schottenheimer spoke to the importance of Diggs’ injury. He emphasized the team’s concern for the player while expressing optimism about Diggs’ condition.
“And you deal with it, and you don’t lose sleep over it. The biggest thing is just the concern for Trevon that he’s OK. But seems like he is.” – Schottenheimer
Specifically, team doctors repeated neurosurgeon consultations on Friday with Diggs. As the Cowboys prepare for a pivotal outing against the Commanders, they need to focus. After ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith piling on, the heat is on to deliver an early touchdown.
Archer’s analysis of the upcoming matchup was published on October 17, 2025, where he highlighted not only Diggs’ status but the overall importance of the game for the Cowboys. The franchise’s playoff consideration is to strengthen its position in the league and avoid losing streaks against tough competition.
