OXNARD, Calif. — In Wednesday's scrimmage between the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams, the defense took center stage for several different reasons.
The first reason is Albert Huggins.
The fifth-year defensive tackle shoved a Rams staffer to the ground following a play during the Cowboys and Rams joint practice. He did not play any further after that. He was not seen on the practice field following the incident.
Further disciplinary action, if any, is to be determined.
Other notable absences from the field during the practice: Linebackers Damone Clark and DeMarvion Overshown.
Clark sat out with a sore knee. Overshown left practice with a hip pointer.
Positive news, however, did come for the Cowboys' defense in the form of Trevon Diggs.
The All-Pro Cornerback saw live action for the first time since suffering a torn ACL on September 21, 2023. In his first action back, he notched an interception.
Diggs picked off Rams second-string quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and picked up right where he left off. In Diggs's last game before injury, he picked off New York Jets Quarterback, Zach Wilson, in Dallas September 17 game at AT&T Stadium.
When asked if he had any fear of returning to live action, Diggs responded with “No, I’m not scared." He went on to add that he “trusts [his knee] now” and now just needs repetition and to “get back to doing what I do."
Diggs’ return is promising for Dallas. With just a matter of weeks to go before the regular season begins, it’s good to see one of their best players appear to be returning to form.
