Patriots WR Stefon Diggs Returns Training Camp After 9-Month ACL Recovery

Stefon Diggs, the New England Patriots' high-profile free agent signing, has made a remarkable recovery from an ACL tear suffered just nine months ago while with the Houston Texans, returning as a full participant at the start of training camp. Teammate Kendrick Bourne and Coach Mike Vrabel have both expressed admiration for Diggs's dedication and rapid progress, likening his comeback to legendary recoveries in NFL history. Diggs credits his swift return to an intense, focused rehab process and a strong desire to get back to football, stating he worked hard to overcome both the physical and mental challenges of the injury. Despite his health, Diggs admits his primary concern now is learning the Patriots’ playbook and adapting to a new offense, rather than worrying about re-injury. His attitude and quick recovery have fueled optimism that he will be a key weapon for quarterback Drake Maye and could elevate New England’s offense this season. Fans and coaches alike are encouraged by Diggs's performance and work ethic, believing he is poised for a significant impact if he stays healthy.
