The New England Patriots, aiming to support their promising quarterback, have secured a key weapon in Stefon Diggs, despite his recent ACL injury and age. As the Patriots gear up for the upcoming season, Diggs has been cleared for full participation in their training camp, signaling hope for a strong return and a potentially impactful season.
Details on Diggs’ Recovery and Training Progress
According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, sources confirm that Diggs has been fully cleared to participate in all training camp activities. Although the Patriots plan to carefully monitor his workload initially, Diggs has already demonstrated strength and commitment throughout his rehab process. He has been seen taking team reps alongside second-year quarterback Drake Maye, showing signs of returning to form after last October’s ACL tear.
“Patriots WR Stefon Diggs has been cleared for full participation at training camp, per sources,” she wrote on X. “While New England will monitor his reps early on, Diggs has looked strong in his return after tearing his ACL last October while taking team reps with second-year QB Drake Maye.”

Contract and Career Background
This offseason, Diggs signed a lucrative three-year, $63.5 million contract with the Patriots following a brief and less successful period with the Houston Texans. Before his injury in Week 8 of last season, he had a challenging year with the Buffalo Bills, but past seasons showed his ability to perform at a high level when healthy. His career, however, has been marked by off-field controversies and strained relationships with former teams, which add complexity to his journey in New England.
Team Dynamics and Expectations for the Season
Under head coach Mike Vrabel’s leadership and with owner Robert Kraft’s insistence on moving beyond past disappointments, Stefon Diggs will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike. His health and integration with the team will be critical as the Patriots strive to make a mark this season. The combination of a rising quarterback and a fully available, talented wide receiver could help New England regain a competitive edge in the NFL.
Looking Ahead: The Impact of Diggs’ Return
Diggs’ return to full training participation is a pivotal development for the Patriots as they prepare for the challenges ahead. If he can recapture his previous performance levels, the team’s offense will become significantly more dynamic. While caution remains due to his injury history and the need to build team chemistry, the Patriots appear ready to capitalize on Diggs’ presence as they pursue success this season.
