Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs reportedly has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New York Giants after being listed questionable with a groin/knee injury, according to Todd Archer of ESPN.

This is the second straight game that Trevon Diggs will miss for the Cowboys, as he was out for the win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday. This is significant for the Cowboys, as Diggs would have been the one to match up against the Giants' top receiver in Malik Nabers. Now, Dallas will have to gameplan around his absence for the second week in a row.

With Diggs out, more responsibilities will be given to DaRon Bland, as well as players like CJ Goodwin and Josh Butler. It would not be surprising if DaRon Bland took the majority of reps against Nabers in the game. The Giants will almost undoubtedly force-feed Nabers after the comments he made about not getting the ball thrown his way after the team's 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. It will be Drew Lock under center for New York as Tommy DeVito is the emergency quarterback due to injury.

The Cowboys' win over the Commanders was a surprising one, given all the success that Washington has had this season with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, and all of the injuries that Dallas is dealing with. For the majority of the game, it was low scoring. Then, things went a bit haywire due to some special teams miscues and a long touchdown to Terry McLaurin. In the end, the Cowboys did come out with the win to get to 4-7 on the season, keeping some faint hope alive for a late-season run.

Despite how weak the Cowboys have looked at times this season, the Giants are a very beatable team, as they are 2-9 and seemingly have hit rock bottom. This should be a game that Dallas expects to win, based on how the Giants have performed this season.

Following this game against the Giants, the Cowboys have games against struggling teams in the Cincinnati Bengals and Carolina Panthers. The Bengals will not be easy despite their record, as Joe Burrow is playing at an elite level, and the Panthers have improved in recent weeks since Bryce Young took over the starting job again. For now, the Cowboys will worry about just getting back to 5-7 and beating the Giants on Thanksgiving.
