What is Stefon Diggs' ACL injury status? Will he be back in time for Patriots training camp?
Saying goodbye to the Texans, the wide receiver has signed a bumper contract in New England, but isn’t yet free from injury.


Stefon Diggs, the veteran wide receiver who has just inked a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, is making notable strides in his recovery from a torn ACL suffered last October. It’s now Pats fans desperate to get news on when he’ll be back at it.
Sources: The #Patriots are signing #Texans FA WR Stefon Diggs, one of the top free agents available. He gets a 3-year, up to $69M deal.

When will Diggs return?
Well, reports indicate that Diggs is running at full speed and has begun cutting and changing direction, suggesting he is ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation.
While these developments are promising, the Patriots have not provided a specific timeline for Diggs' return to full participation. Sorry!

Given that ACL recovery can vary among athletes, it’s still uncertain whether Diggs will be ready for the start of training camp. However, his current progress offers optimism for a timely return, and no doubt quarterback Drake Maye will be looking forward to having a reliable target to pick out.
