What's Cowboys Plan With Trevon Diggs Inactive vs. Giants on Thanksgiving?

The Dallas Cowboys are set to take on the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium for their Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup, aiming to build momentum following a crucial 34-26 victory over the Washington Commanders. The game will feature significant absences for both teams, shaping the strategies heading into this divisional showdown.

The Giants, at 2-9, are grappling with their own challenges after transitioning to Drew Lock as their starting quarterback due to Tommy DeVito’s forearm injury. This marks their third quarterback change in as many games. The Giants enter the game with limited offensive firepower, compounded by injuries across their roster, though their official inactive list remains pending at the time of writing.

Dallas has historically dominated this matchup, winning 14 of the last 15 games against New York, including a 20-15 victory earlier this season. The Cowboys will lean on their defense to stifle a struggling Giants offense ranked 25th in the league, while Dak Prescott and the offense aim to exploit the Giants’ 18th-ranked defense.

The Cowboys, sitting at 4-7, are dealing with a depleted roster, including the loss of key contributors. On the inactives list are:

• Trevon Diggs (CB)
• Andrew Booth (CB)
• Deuce Vaughn (RB)
• Zack Martin (G)
• Ryan Flournoy (WR)
• Jake Ferguson (TE)
• Marshawn Kneeland (DE)

What's the Cowboys plan with no Diggs? This could be a spotlight for DaRon Bland in his second game back after having missed all year due to injury. Also, upstart helper Josh Butler has a chance to be a factor as well.

With Thanksgiving football in full swing, the Cowboys have an opportunity to capitalize on their favorable matchup and keep their slim playoff hopes alive in the competitive NFC East. A win here would not only extend their dominance over the Giants but also energize the team for the critical stretch ahead.
