The Dallas Cowboys and Trevon Diggs are going through some tough, and frankly, strange times. And the latest comments from head coach Brian Schottenheimer just made things even weirder.

Leading up to a Week 8 matchup versus the Denver Broncos, Schottenheimer was asked about Diggs potentially landing on Injured Reserve. Surprisingly, Schottenheimer didn’t shoot down the possibility at all.

“We’re going to keep all options open,” Schottenheimer said Friday. “I don’t want to get too far ahead of this thing. All injuries are different. You don’t know how these things are going to play themselves out. You have to do whatever is best for the team. That’d be a little premature to say that, but we’ll see.”

The Cowboys cornerback entered the concussion protocol last week after suffering a “home accident” last week. He missed the Cowboys’ win over the Washington Commanders and he has yet to participate in practice this week. But Injured Reserve being a possibility? For a concussion?

The Indianapolis Colts placed CB Charvarious Ward on IR for a concussion, but it was his second of the season. The same happened to Minnesota Vikings center Ryan Kelly. The Detroit Lions placed cornerback Khalil Dorsey on IR but he was also dealing with a wrist injury.

In other words, placing a player on IR for a single concussion is very rare. It’s even more so when there’s no information surrounding the accident. Schottenheimer told reporters the Cowboys had more information on the accident but that he would allow Diggs to comment on it first.

Considering the fact that Diggs’ relationship with the Cowboys hasn’t been exactly amicable this season doesn’t help. The Cowboys enforced a $500,000 salary de-escalator on Diggs’ contract after he decided to rehab away from the team. At training camp, Jerry Jones openly questioned his own decision to sign Diggs to a long-term contract extension. This week, Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that Diggs hasn’t been physically able to perform. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus has even taken slight jabs at Diggs.

Maybe this is indeed a serious concussion and the Cowboys still plan to have Diggs be a big part of the defense. Maybe it just looks awkward on the outside but it’s not on the inside. I guess.

But let’s be honest here. This doesn’t look like that at all. Details on the accident will likely reveal a lot more but for now, Diggs and the Cowboys continue to look like two parts in a relationship rapidly going sour.
