Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer left the door open for a Trevon Diggs return in Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. The cornerback hasn't played since Oct. 12, when the Cowboys lost 30-27 to the Carolina Panthers.

The Broncos may need a hotter defensive start, though, as they rank 12th in EPA/play allowed in the first half and third in the second. Since the bye, the Broncos have been a bit leaky on defense, and they need to patch up those holes in the boat fast.

The Denver Broncos have established themselves as Super Bowl contenders after defeating the Green Bay Packers to move to 12-2.
