Stefon Diggs Out for Season With ACL Injury

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs will miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season after suffering a torn ACL during the team's Week 8 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs, who was acquired from the Buffalo Bills in the offseason, had recorded 496 yards and three touchdowns in his first season with Houston. His injury comes at a challenging time for the Texans, as fellow receiver Nico Collins is also sidelined due to injury. With Diggs on an expiring contract and set to hit free agency, questions loom about his future with the team. The Texans, currently leading the AFC South with a 6-2 record, may need to seek a replacement to maintain their competitive edge, potentially looking at trade options like Diontae Johnson from the Carolina Panthers. Head coach DeMeco Ryans and quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed their disappointment, highlighting Diggs' significant impact both on and off the field.
