Latest Patriots moves hint at Stefon Diggs' training camp status
The latest reported roster moves made by the New England Patriots likely hinted at wide receiver Stefon Diggs' status ahead of training camp. Multiple players, including Mack Hollins, Vederian Lowe, Austin Hooper, Jahlani Tavai, Carlton Davis III, Josh Minkins and Jeremiah Webb have been placed on either the active/PUP list or the active/non-football list. However, Diggs' name was not on the list of players who haven't been cleared to practice ahead of training camp. That likely means he will be on the practice field when the team kicks off the first day of training camp on Wednesday, July 23. It's an incredible testament to his hard work and perseverance behind the scenes after tearing his ACL last October. There is hope that Diggs can serve as a top receiving option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. He has worked closely with the 22-year-old signal-caller, including traveling out to a throwing session with his new teammate held in North Carolina. Before the injury, Diggs had six consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The jury is still out on whether he can return to that same level of elite play after such a devastating knee injury. It might be foolish to count him out after witnessing his incredible ACL recovery. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Stefon Diggs injury update: Patriots WR recovery timeline ahead of 2025 NFL season opener
Patriots hope for a healthy Diggs to start 2025 season strong (Image via: Getty Images) Stefon Diggs' arrival in New England created major buzz, but his health now takes center stage. After tearing his ACL in 2024 with the Texans, the veteran wide receiver's availability for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is in serious doubt. For a rebuilding Patriots offense, his presence could be a game-changer—or a glaring absence. Stefon Diggs' recovery progress could determine Patriots' offensive outlook in week 1 Stefon Diggs continues his recovery from a season-ending ACL tear suffered midway through the 2024 campaign. While expectations initially pointed to him starting the 2025 season on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, recent reports suggest there's growing optimism. According to The Athletic's Chad Graff, Diggs impressed during spring workouts and may be ahead of schedule in his rehab process. Still, no final decision has been made. If Diggs is placed on the PUP list, he would be required to miss at least the first four games of the season. For a Patriots team trying to build chemistry with second-year quarterback Drake Maye, losing their most experienced pass-catcher would be a significant setback. Maye's development is already under a microscope, and missing a key weapon like Diggs could slow progress in a loaded AFC East. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Invertir $112 en Amazon CFD podría devolverte un segundo salario PRM Registrarse Undo Patriots Insider: Stefon Diggs looks 'astounding' at Patriots' OTA practice coming off ACL injury Patriots face tough balancing act between Stefon Diggs' health and offensive urgency New England's receiving corps doesn't have much depth behind Diggs. While young names like Demario Douglas and Ja'Lynn Polk are promising, neither brings the All-Pro experience and route-running ability that Diggs does. His ability to stretch defenses and create separation could elevate Maye's confidence early in the year. On the flip side, rushing Diggs back too soon from an ACL injury could backfire. The Patriots have to weigh long-term value against short-term needs. Ensuring Diggs returns at full strength, even if it means missing a few early games, might be the smarter play.

Will Stefon Diggs get suspended before his Patriots debut after the yacht video scandal?
Stefon Diggs' offseason antics have stirred controversy for the New England Patriots (Image via AP) In what should have been a focused offseason for the New England Patriots, new wide receiver Stefon Diggs has found himself at the center of a growing controversy. A video showing Diggs partying on a yacht instead of attending voluntary Organized Team Activities (OTAs) has ignited debate about his commitment to his new team—and raised questions about his recovery from a season-ending ACL tear in 2024. Patriots hopeful for Stefon Diggs' return, but controversy clouds progress After tearing his ACL in Week 8 last year while playing for the Houston Texans, Diggs' future in the league became uncertain. Though Houston had restructured his contract shortly after trading for him, the injury essentially ended his stint there. The Patriots, however, took a gamble—signing the former Pro Bowler to a three-year, $69 million deal, hoping he could become a reliable target for rookie quarterback Drake Maye under new head coach Mike Vrabel. Despite the injury, Diggs was brought in to be the team's No. 1 receiver—a veteran presence for a team entering a rebuild. But the optimism surrounding the signing has been tested in recent days. Earlier this week, a video surfaced of Diggs aboard a yacht, reportedly handing out a questionable substance. While OTAs are voluntary, the optics were far from ideal for a team trying to foster discipline and unity under a new regime. Mike Vrabel keeps it professional amid media storm Coach Vrabel addressed the issue without directly criticizing his player, telling the media: 'Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club… the timelines, and the prognosis, we're working hard to get him back and be ready to go. When he's here, we'll coach him and have him ready to go.' Vrabel's comments were measured, but the underlying message was clear: presence matters, especially when expectations are high. The situation could escalate further. The NFL is expected to review the yacht video for possible violations of the league's substance policy. If any wrongdoing is confirmed, Diggs could face disciplinary action, including a fine or suspension. While he's never been suspended in the NFL, he did serve a one-game ban in college for 'touching an official in the face.'

Patriots officially reveal WR Stefon Diggs' new jersey number
Patriots officially reveal WR Stefon Diggs' new jersey number Stefon Diggs will officially have a new jersey number with the New England Patriots in 2025. The team announced on social media that the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver would be wearing the No. 8 jersey this season. In many ways, it marks a new beginning for the star wideout after signing a three-year, $69 million deal with the Patriots in the offseason. Diggs wore the No. 1 jersey with the Houston Texans last year, but second-year wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk currently wears that number with the Patriots. The veteran receiver recently told fans he had no intention of asking for Polk's jersey number in New England. The Patriots are hopeful that Diggs can bounce back strong from his ACL injury and get back to being the dominant player he once was with the Buffalo Bills. He looked to be on the verge of notching a seventh straight 1,000-yard receiving season under his belt last year with the Texans before his devastating knee injury. Time will tell if he can get back to that point with the Patriots' young and promising quarterback, Drake Maye, throwing him the ball. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
