That will tell a tale, if it goes down that way. And now we have info from head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who was asked on Monday if there had been any miscommunication between the Cowboys and Trevon over him playing.

The Dallas Cowboys and injured cornerback Trevon Diggs are not in agreement over whether he's healthy enough to take the field.

Diggs continues to feel healthy enough to play, but the Cowboys disagree with the cornerback's assessment of his own health.

The clock, however, is ticking against Diggs. If he isn’t activated by December 20, he won’t play this season. And since Sunday’s loss all but mathematically eliminated the Cowboys from playoff contention with three games remaining, what would the incentive be at this point to activate Diggs?

The Dallas Cowboys will not have Trevon Diggs back for Sunday's pivotal home game against the rival Minnesota Vikings.

Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs has had a curious season, and recent comments from coach Brian Schottenheimer have everyone wondering what's really going on.

The Cowboys want Trevon Diggs back, but they are not letting urgency cloud judgment. Minnesota’s passing attack will test Dallas in Week 15, yet the team remains unconvinced that Diggs is fully ready after significant time away.
