Stefon Diggs ready for Patriots' opener after 2024 ACL tear

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs erased any doubt about his status, saying he's ready for Week 1 of the NFL season after tearing his right ACL last October.

"A healthy me is a happy me," he said Wednesday. "So I'm really happy right now."

Diggs and the Patriots host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday (1 p.m. ET, CBS), and the 11-year NFL veteran responded emphatically when asked if he might be on a "pitch count" to ease him back into action.

"Hell no!" he said with a smile.
