"He's definitely lying," "Obvious cover up": NFL fans react as Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs reveals getting concussed while installing TV

Trevon Diggs finally made his return to the field on Sunday after being out since October. However, despite this, the Dallas Cowboys suffered a 34-17 loss at home at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers.

Diggs had suffered a mysterious concussion at home back in October. This resulted in him missing the last eight games for Brian Schottenheimer's team. Now, according to a tweet by reporter Jane Slater, we finally get to know how Trevon Diggs suffered this mysterious concussion.

"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," Slater wrote. With his permission he shared and he's the video of it. "He says a tv he was trying to install from the ceiling with a pole mount fell on his head. 'I was trying to be a handyman' he didn't think it was a big deal and didn't need to be addressed but speculation on the internet went way too far."

Fans on social media shared their reactions to Trevon Diggs' reason for the concussion.

"Lol he definitely lying," one fan commented. "YOU ARE A MILLIONAIRE PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT," another fan said. "This is an obvious cover up because he knows the story has gotten out about what really happened. He's put the house on the market to be sold. He knows he's out of Dallas. So why would he be mounting a tv on a house he doesn't plan on being there much longer? Yea right try again," this fan wrote. "Lol nooo way he ducked this question for months to say a 'tv pole' fell on him that he installed? Was he standing underneath the TV? was he on the ladder and it bonked bum and he fell? Nooo wayy," another fan said. "There's no way this si true. For the staff, media, and other players to be so tight lipped about it, no way. This is a reasonable explanation no one would care about. Trevon could have said this at the beginning and no would would have blinked. I'm sorry," one fan wrote. "I don't believe this... everybody was acting weird and acting like it was bigg secret about it to just be this..." this fan commented.

In his first game back on the field, Trevon Diggs had six total tackles against the Chargers. In 2023, he agreed to a five-year extension with the Cowboys worth $97 million.
