Nearly a year after ACL injury, Stefon Diggs is looking like a star receiver once again

FOXBOROUGH — It’s been less than a year since Stefon Diggs — then with the Houston Texans — hit the turf at NRG Stadium while grabbing his knee.

A torn ACL ended Diggs’ 2024 season, with the 31-year-old wideout staring at a long road to recovery just before hitting the open market as a free agent.

A Patriots team in desperate need of established pass-catchers brushed aside concerns over Diggs’ age and injury — handing him a three-year, $63.5 million contract in March.

And so far, the former All-Pro has been well worth that investment.

Diggs has looked no worse for wear since getting the green light for snaps at the start of the 2025 season, reeling in 39 catches for 456 yards across seven games so far with New England.
