Stefon Diggs, the veteran wide receiver who signed a three-year, $69 million contract with the New England Patriots, is on track to return for Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season following a torn ACL suffered in October 2024. Diggs, who played for the Houston Texans at the time, is reportedly ahead of schedule in his rehabilitation, engaging in full-speed running and agility drills.
In his brief tenure with the Texans, Diggs recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns over eight games before the injury. His anticipated return adds a significant boost to the Patriots’ receiving corps, complementing second-year quarterback Drake Maye.
