Trevon Diggs' injury 'a punch to the gut,' Mike McCarthy says

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged the loss of cornerback Trevon Diggs for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Thursday's practice is a blow, but the organization's goals do not change.

"Obviously you feel sick (for) him," McCarthy said. "It's definitely a punch to the gut for our football team, but this is an opportunity for our defensive depth to stand up and continue to move forward."

McCarthy said he has had a couple of conversations with Diggs since the injury, including Friday morning.
