Patriots insider drops bold Stefon Diggs injury prediction ahead of training camp

The post Patriots insider drops bold Stefon Diggs injury prediction ahead of training camp appeared first on ClutchPoints. The New England Patriots received a major boost ahead of training camp. Veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs is not appearing on the team's physically unable to perform (PUP) list, a strong signal that he may be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn ACL injury suffered last October. Diggs, who joined the Patriots this offseason on a three-year, $63.5 million deal, tore his ACL midway through the 2024 season while playing for the Houston Texans. Despite the significant injury, Diggs looked impressively quick during voluntary workouts earlier this summer. So much so that he often appeared as one of the most explosive receivers on the field. The Patriots' official training camp injury report confirmed that Diggs avoided both the PUP and non-football injury (NFI) lists. That suggests he'll be ready to participate in camp from Day 1. Sure, this doesn't guarantee he'll be active for Week 1. However, it's an undeniably positive development given that full ACL recovery typically ranges from 9–12 months, and Diggs is just over eight months into his rehab. By contrast, other notable receivers like San Francisco's Brandon Aiyuk are expected to miss significant time. So the fact that Diggs is already trending toward on-field action puts New England in an enviable position. Stefon Diggs is on track for a strong season with the Patriots Before his injury, Diggs was on pace for another strong year. He recorded 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in just eight games. He's produced six straight 1,000-yard seasons and brings over 10,000 career receiving yards to a Patriots offense that lacked firepower in 2024. Now set to work alongside second-year quarterback Drake Maye and under the leadership of new head coach Mike Vrabel, Diggs' presence gives New England a much-needed weapon. His return could be the key to jumpstarting an offense that was stuck in neutral. If early signs hold, Diggs could be full-go for the team's season opener. If he can play, it will be a welcome development for a Patriots team eager to turn the page.

Patriots' Stefon Diggs chasing around dog he almost lost is funniest thing you'll see today

The post Patriots' Stefon Diggs chasing around dog he almost lost is funniest thing you'll see today appeared first on ClutchPoints. Things did not start smoothly for New England Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs on the first day of training camp, which happened to be Puppy Adoption Day, as he spent a portion of it chasing his dog. A video was posted by Patriots on CLNS on X, formerly Twitter. Diggs walked in proudly with his dog before putting them on the ground. The dog took off, and Diggs had to chase it down. Luckily, he was successful in chasing down the puppy. Diggs saved the moment from turning disastrous. Hopefully, he learned from the experience, and this is the last time he lets the puppy off their leash. Stefon Diggs' first training camp with the Patriots Diggs is just starting his first training camp with the Patriots. He spent the 2024 season with the Houston Texans, during which he only played in eight games. His season was cut short in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs suffered a non-contact knee injury, which was later revealed to be a torn ACL. His season ended with a career-low 47 catches for 496 yards. He only caught three touchdowns — his lowest since 2016. This is already Diggs' 11th season in the NFL. He spent his first five seasons with the Minnesota Vikings before being traded to the Buffalo Bills during the 2020 offseason. Diggs would spend the next four years of his career with the Bills. He had his best seasons with them, logging over 1,000 yards in all four seasons, including a career-high 1,535 yards in 2020. After being traded to the Texans, he spent one season with them. He then signed a three-year contract with the Patriots during the 2025 offseason. Hopefully, he is able to stay healthy for the whole season. Throughout his career, Diggs has been a four-time Pro Bowler (2020-24), and he was named to two All-Pro teams (one First-team, one Second-team). In 2020, he led the league in yards (1,535) and catches (127).
