Patriots' Stefon Diggs Poised for Stunning Week One NFL Comeback originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Stefon Diggs is storming back, defying the odds after a torn ACL last October. The New England Patriots’ star receiver is igniting hope with his rapid recovery. Can the 31-year-old reclaim his elite form and spark a Patriots’ offensive revival in 2025?
Signed to a three-year, $63.5 million deal, Diggs impressed at minicamp, running routes with no apparent limitations despite skipping competitive drills. His progress fuels buzz about a Week 1 return. Skeptics call it hype, but experts see real promise.
NFL insider Albert Breer, on NBC Sports Boston, predicted Diggs might start camp on the PUP list but could be cleared by late August. “I do think he’s trending to play in Week 1,” Breer said, noting a 10-month recovery aligns with modern ACL timelines.
