The Patriots' receiving corps drew questions all offseason about whether enough was done to improve after last season. The group will be led by new signing Stefon Diggs alongside DeMario Douglas and rookie Kyle Williams. Mike Vrabel confirmed that Diggs will be available for Week 1 despite not playing in the preseason and recovering from an ACL tear ten months earlier. Diggs has been taking significant reps in camp and building chemistry with Drake Maye. Having Diggs ready is a major boost given the offense's uneven preseason performance and the need for top players early.
Throughout the offseason, there has been a lot of talk about how the Patriots' offense will fare during the upcoming season for a number of reasons. Analysts and fans continue to question if enough work was done to put the group in a better position to succeed than they were just one year ago, especially with the receiving corps. The group is expected to be led by Stefon Diggs, who was signed in free agency, along with DeMario Douglas and rookie Kyle Williams.
However, that question was answered by Mike Vrabel on Monday morning, as he revealed that the receiver will be ready to go for Week 1, a feat not often achieved by a player who suffered an ACL tear just 10 months ago. Although there might be some worries about how Diggs will look coming back from a significant injury, it's a massive win for the Patriots offense to have him in the lineup and for Maye to have his presumed number one weapon.
