In a major boost for the Dallas Cowboys' defense, cornerback Trevon Diggs has been cleared to return to practice after passing his physical and being removed from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.

The 25-year-old Diggs was placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp as he continued to recover from a torn ACL suffered last September. His recovery has been closely monitored, and his return to the field marks a significant milestone in his rehabilitation process.

Diggs, an All-Pro cornerback known for his ball-hawking skills, can now participate in the team's first padded practice in Oxnard as early as today.
