Patriots Clear Stefon Diggs For Training Camp Participation

Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots' high-profile wide receiver signing, has been cleared for full participation in the 2025 NFL training camp after recovering from a torn ACL sustained last October. His early return to practice, ahead of schedule, is a significant boost for the Patriots, who had long sought a true WR1 since Randy Moss's era and had limited options during the offseason. Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez has already benefited from Diggs’s experience, seeking his advice to improve his coverage. Despite some concerns about Diggs's off-field behavior and the risk involved in his $69 million, three-year contract with only $26 million guaranteed, analysts believe his proven talent and route-running abilities could greatly enhance New England's receiving corps. Head coach Mike Vrabel confirmed Diggs's readiness while noting the team will monitor his reps to manage workload early on. Overall, Diggs's speedy rehab and presence in camp signal optimism for the Patriots' passing game as they prepare for the season opener.
