Trevon Diggs' Injury Is a 'Punch to the Gut' for Cowboys, Mike McCarthy Says

The Dallas Cowboys are feeling devastated after losing cornerback Trevon Diggs to an ACL tear.

Head coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged that the loss as a "punch to the gut" to the team as a whole but said that the rest of the defense will need to step up in Diggs' absence.

"Obviously you feel sick (for) him," McCarthy said, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com. "It's definitely a punch to the gut for our football team, but this is an opportunity for our defensive depth to stand up and continue to move forward."
