Texans' Stefon Diggs Out for Season with Torn ACL

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season due to a torn ACL sustained in a non-contact play against the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs, who was traded from the Buffalo Bills and had been a key player for the Texans, recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games. The injury is a significant setback for the Texans as they also contend with the absence of Nico Collins, their leading receiver, who is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. With Diggs out, other receivers like Tank Dell, Robert Woods, and Xavier Hutchinson will need to step up. The Texans, currently leading the AFC South with a 6-2 record, face a challenging schedule ahead, including games against the Jets, Lions, Chiefs, and Ravens.
