What number is Trevon Diggs? Why Packers' new CB was let go by Cowboys image

Trevon Diggs plays for the Green Bay Packers now.

It's still news, at least a bit, as the Packers play in the playoffs on Saturday night against the Chicago Bears. Diggs was with the Dallas Cowboys for a long time, so it's pretty fresh.

But he's out there for the playoff opener, and fans are trying to find him.

What number is Trevon Diggs?

Trevon Diggs is wearing jersey number 28  with the Packers.

He was No. 7 before leaving Dallas.

Why did Trevon Diggs go from Cowboys to Packers?

The Cowboys cut Diggs due to injuries, ineffectiveness and some contract conflicts.

The Packers needed him.

They've had a weak cornerback depth chart all year, so much so that they tried to convert WR Bo Melton to corner.

Diggs may not be the player he once was, but he was worth a shot for a Green Bay team needing some help on the outside.
