Some cornerback help could be on the way to the Motor City.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions tried out former Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers cornerback Trevon Diggs over the weekend.
Diggs was limited to just nine games played and seven starts last season as he suffered a concussion in an at-home accident and then had an injured reserve stint with a right knee injury.
While with the Cowboys, Diggs was a two-time Pro Bowler (2021, 2022) and a first-team All-Pro in 2021 when he led the NFL in interceptions with 11 picks. In his career, Diggs has totaled 242 tackles, 63 passes defended, 20 interceptions, a pair of forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one sack.
Diggs also suffered a season-ending ACL tear to his left knee, which ended his 2023 campaign after just a pair of games played. The former Cowboys second-round 2020 draft pick would return in 2024 to start 11 games before undergoing a second season-ending injury on his left knee to repair cartilage issues.
Diggs was waived by the Cowboys in late December of last year. The Packers claimed Diggs off waivers ahead of the regular season's final week. Diggs logged 33 defensive snaps against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18, but he played just one defensive snap in the Wild Card round against the Chicago Bears.
