Star wide receiver Stefon Diggs had his lone season with the Houston Texans cut short unceremoniously last season after going down with a brutal ACL injury. Now, Diggs is a member of the New England Patriots, where he hopes to be a crucial part of the development of young quarterback Drake Maye.
However, there was concern in New England about when Diggs would be fully healthy and ready to contribute to the team as he worked his way back from the injury. Now, there’s been a shocking update on his recovery, per one prominent league insider.
“Patriots WR Stefon Diggs has been cleared for full participation at training camp, per sources. While New England will monitor his reps early on, Diggs has looked strong in his return after tearing his ACL last October while taking team reps with second-year QB Drake Maye,” reported The Athletic’s Diana Russini on Twitter.
“Crazy recovery in that short of time!” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Yeah! He’s definitely going for 1k yards this year!” added someone else.
“People really are sleeping on him this year,” another fan added.
While it remains to be seen what level Diggs is at after such a brutal injury, if he is able to return to his old form, the Patriots may be one of the most dangerous teams in the league this season.
