Trevon Diggs has been one of the major defensive absences from Dallas Cowboys training camp as he recovers from knee surgery in January, but the star defensive back passed his physical Friday and moved from the physically unable to play list to the active roster.

Dallas' star corner could return to action sooner rather than later. Diggs had offseason knee surgery but is expected to play in September.

DaRon Bland, who had a record five interception returns for touchdowns two years ago, is the only other established starter at cornerback. Kaiir Elam, acquired from Buffalo in the offseason, is the other starter on the unofficial depth chart.
