Ex-Maryland star pass catcher inches closer to early return with New England Patriots

Stefon Diggs might not just be back this season — he might be back on time.

Diggs saw his 2024 season cut short in Week 8 after tearing his ACL on a route against the Colts while playing for the Texans. The injury didn’t stop New England from signing him in the offseason — though at the time, there were real questions about whether he’d be healthy in time for training camp.

Now, it looks like Diggs could be back sooner than anticipated.

According to ESPN and Patriots insider Mike Reise, Diggs is expected to be on the field for the start of training camp after the team decided not to place him on the PUP or NFI lists.
