Trevon Diggs reveals the cause of his concussion, perfectly describes the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season

You really can’t make this stuff up. It also feels painfully on-brand for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. In a season that naturally ended disaster, Trevon Diggs finally gave Cowboys fans the answer they’d been waiting on regarding the mysterious concussion that sidelined him for two months.

Unfortunately for Cowboys fans, this wasn’t because of a brutal hit, a bang-bang football play, or even something remotely football-related. It was a TV mount.

Trevon Diggs revealed that he suffered his concussion while trying to install a ceiling-mounted television at home. The mount failed. The TV came down. Diggs took it directly to the head. Concussion protocol activated. Season effectively over.

If you’re looking for a metaphor for the Cowboys, this is it.

Dallas lost 34-17 to the Chargers in Week 16, capping off a miserable home slate and another year that never really got off the ground.

Trevon Diggs returned to the lineup, logged six tackles, and watched Justin Herbert carve up a Cowboys defense that hasn’t been right all season.

The Eagles had already clinched the NFC East, the Cowboys were already eliminated, and the vibes were already cooked.

Trevon Diggs also dealt with a knee injury, because of course he did, but the fact that a home improvement project became the defining injury storyline of the season feels almost poetic.

The organization stayed quiet, speculation ran wild, and the whole thing turned into a circus until Diggs finally said what happened.

Some of you wanted to know how Trevon Diggs got concussed. It was never that crazy but the lack of answers made it sound like it was. With his permission he shared and here’s the video of it.

“I was trying to be a handyman,” Diggs admitted. “I shouldn’t have been.”

The most dangerous thing Trevon Diggs faced this year wasn’t even an elite receiver, it was gravity and poor mounting hardware which is crazy, given the fact that he’s still a cornerstone defensive player when he’s actually on the field.

How anyone within the Dallas Cowboys organization is letting their prized defensive player attempt to hang his own televisions is beyond me. The result was Trevon Diggs missing two months of action and another lost Cowboys season.

I love that but overall, just a bad look for the Diggs and the Cowboys. Somehow, losing a fight to a TV mount perfectly sums up another lost year in Dallas.
