Cowboys' $97 million man targeting Week 1 return after 2 years of injuries
Cowboys' $97 million man targeting Week 1 return after 2 years of injuries After tearing his ACL last season, Diggs has his sights set on returning for the season opener. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs, who missed the final six games last season after undergoing surgery to repair a knee injury, has his sights set on returning Week 1 vs the Philadelphia Eagles, according to reporter Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. While the All-Pro is hoping to follow through on his first major goal of the upcoming 2025 season, it will ultimately come down to how well he progresses during training camp. Dallas signed Diggs to a five-year, $97 million extension heading into the 2023 season, but he hasn't played much since then. The former 2020 second-round pick has battled through the injury bug and has missed plenty of football, 21 games to be exact, over the past two seasons, most notably in 2023 after a gruesome ACL tear suffered during a September practice sidelined him for 15 games. Before the injuries came into the picture, Diggs had firmly established himself as one of the NFL's premier playmakers on the back end. His ability to take away a side of the field, bait quarterbacks into mistakes, and create game-changing turnovers made him a centerpiece of Dallas' defense and a massive piece to replace once he went down. Now under new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, the Cowboys will be eager to see Diggs back in the fold as well as hope to see Diggs and fellow All-Pro teammate DaRon Bland see plenty of action on the field at the same time.

Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division
Portion Of Falcons Schedule Allows Them To Create Space In The NFC South Division originally appeared on Athlon Sports. According to NFL schedule experts, since the NFL has experts in every aspect of the game, the Atlanta Falcons have the 20th-ranked strength of schedule for the 2025 NFL season. Advertisement The Falcons are ranked 17th in the league in terms of difficulty alone. However, they will play against seven teams that were over .500 last season. Three of those teams had at least twelve wins, and six had fewer than six wins. Six of Atlanta's games will be against teams that made the playoffs last year. Numbers and math are complex, but a portion of Atlanta's schedule could present them with an opportunity to rattle off a few straight wins and set themselves up for a run at the NFC South division title. Looking at the schedule and eyeing weeks 8 through 17 could give Atlanta just what they need to turn this thing around and make their first playoff appearance since 2017. Falcons GM Terry Fontenot speaks to the media at the NFL Scouting Combine. Kirby Lee-Imagn Images In week 8, the Falcons will take on the Miami Dolphins at home. They will hit the road in week 9 for a date with the New England Patriots, then return home for a week 10 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. During this stretch, Atlanta could be looking at rattling off three wins in a row and propelling the team to a first-place division lead. Advertisement In Week 11, the Falcons will have a home game against the Carolina Panthers. Yes, they will be better across the board, but Atlanta could prove to be too much offensively. Week 12 at the New Orleans Saints is always a toss-up due to the bitter rivalry, but Atlanta could also snag a win here, depending on the Saints' QB situation. Weeks 13 and 14 will feature Atlanta taking on the New York Giants and Seattle Seahawks at home. Atlanta could be looking at a six- or seven-game win streak at this point in the season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers in week 15 are another division toss-up. Weeks 16 and 17 will bring on the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. All of this is speculation, and the Atlanta Falcons will need to develop the chemistry this summer with all of the new additions on defense. However, the offensive side of the ball can be a very potent weapon for the foreseeable future in the NFL and should propel Atlanta to the top of the NFC South.

Former Falcons QB Legend Had High Praise For Michael Penix Jr
Former Falcons QB Legend Had High Praise For Michael Penix Jr originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Atlanta Falcons legend Mike Vick made a surprise appearance in Flowery Branch during Atlanta's OTAs this past week and had high praise for Michael Penix Jr., who is set to start his first full season in the NFL and be a significant contributing face of the franchise in Atlanta. Advertisement 'I'm excited for Mike. I think this is going to be an amazing season for him,' said Vick. "Just watching him practice it looks like everything has slowed down. He made good reads, moved well in the pocket.' Atlanta Falcons QB Mike Vick scrambles against the Tennessee Titans. Photo by Dale Zanine Imagn Images Copyright (c) 2006 Dale Zanine Vick would also say, 'With some complimentary players around him like Bijan and Drake and Kyle, these guys are really going to do some special things this year." If anyone knows how to be a dynamic or generational talent on the football field, it's Mike Vick. During his time in Atlanta, Vick made three Pro Bowls while leading the Falcons to two playoff appearances and one NFC Championship appearance during their 2004-2005 season. Over the course of six seasons, Vick threw for 11,505 yards and 71 touchdowns while rushing for 3,859 total yards and 21 touchdowns. Advertisement Penix Jr. played in five games last year and started the final three of the season after Kirk Cousins was benched. During that time, Penix completed 58% of his passes and threw for 3 touchdowns. As last season wound down, Penix Jr. was starting to develop chemistry with wide receiver Drake London. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together in Atlanta if the optimism from late last season transfers over into something special in Atlanta during the 2025 season. As for Mike Vick, he will be stepping away from sports media and has accepted the head coaching position at Norfolk State University in his home state of Virginia.
