APRIL 26: Owner Jerry Jones confirmed on Saturday (via ESPN’s Todd Archer) Diggs is a candidate to begin the regular season on the PUP list. It will be interesting to see how his rehab progresses as Revel looks to earn playing time right away during his rookie season.
APRIL 25: The Cowboys have made another defensive addition on Day 2 of the draft. East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. has been selected at No. 76 by Dallas. 
The move comes amongst uncertainty in the case of Trevon Diggs‘ availability to start the season. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported during a TV appearance Diggs is uncertain to be fully healthy in time for Week 1.
Revel entered the season firmly on the first-round radar. His production (albeit at a lower level of competition), coupled with his size and athleticism led to high expectations for 2024. The 6-2, 202-pounder suffered an ACL tear in Week 3, however, which cost him most of his final college campaign.
To little surprise, the injury also led to a fall in Revel’s draft stock. After not hearing his name called on Thursday, the entire second round took place without a selection coming to bear either. Now, though, Revel can turn his attention to competing for playing time in Dallas.
The Cowboys have Diggs along with DaRon Bland atop the depth chart at the cornerback spot. Diggs has been limited to just 13 games across the past two years, and he underwent surgery in January. That procedure led to a positive outlook with respect to his ability to recover in full but also the expectation of missed time during training camp. This latest update points further to the possibility of Diggs missing game action in September.
Dallas ranked 31st in the NFL in scoring defense last season. The team finished mid-pack against the pass, but adding in the secondary represents a logical goal regarding the draft. If Revel checks out medically this summer, he could see defensive playing time right away.
Absolute Steal for Big D!!!!!
I wanted the Niners to pick him the pick before. Niners botched this specific pick. A few others too. But this pick will be big for Dallas
