The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that Patriots WR Stefon Diggs has gained clearance for "full participation" at training camp. Diggs, of course, is working back from an October ACL tear. But New England checked out the knee before guaranteeing $25 million on Diggs' three-year deal in late March.
Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) avoided the PUP list to open training camp. That puts him on track to participate in some capacity when practices get going this coming week. More importantly, it makes him ineligible to be placed on the reserve PUP list to open the regular season, which would have knocked him out for at least the first four games.
NBC Sports Boston's Albert Breer says Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is "trending" to be ready for Week 1. He's working his way back from last October's torn ACL. Breer expects Diggs to open training camp on the PUP list but come off by the end of August.
Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is not in good standing with the team right now, according to the team's radio color analyst Scott Zolak. Video emerged last week of Diggs partying on a boat with what appeared to be illegal drugs. And Zolak says Diggs' issues aren't just with the boat. "There are some other things that I've heard that put some things in question," Zolak said. He added that releasing Diggs "is on the table" for New England.
The Patriots obviously knew when they signed WR Stefon Diggs that he was coming off a right ACL tear in October. ESPN's Mike Reiss reported shortly before that signing that Diggs was "ahead of schedule." Chad Graff of The Athletic, however, says Diggs' recovery timeline "could cause him to miss the start of the season."
WR Stefon Diggs is signing a three-year deal with the Patriots. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it carries a max value of $69 million. ESPN's Adam Schefter adds that Diggs will get $26 million in guarantees. The agreement followed a Diggs visit that included a physical. The veteran WR tore his right ACL on Oct. 27.
WR Stefon Diggs is "ahead of schedule" in his recovery from last October's torn right ACL, ESPN's Mike Reiss hears. Diggs is running full speed and "gaining increased comfort cutting and changing direction," Reiss adds. Diggs remains a free agent but recently visited the Patriots and has been connected to the Raiders and Bills.
The Jaguars are trading WR Christian Kirk to the Texans for a seventh-round pick in 2026, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The compensation's obviously low because the Jags had already made it known they planned to release Kirk. By giving up a late pick in next year's draft, Houston gets the final year of Kirk's existing contract (at $16.5 million) instead of having to compete for him on the open market.
Texans WR Stefon Diggs will miss the remainder of the season with a torn right ACL. His season ends with 47 catches, 496 yards, and 3 TDs in less than 8 full games.
