Training camp for the Patriots begins this week, with rookies reporting over the weekend. Increased attention is on the improved roster and second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Receiver Stefon Diggs, signed during free agency despite a recent ACL tear, is not expected to begin on the PUP list, indicating recovery progress. This shift allows for immediate on-field connection between Diggs and Maye. Analysts had previously suggested he could miss games if placed on the PUP list, but his participation is now anticipated from the start.
Not seeing WR Stefon Diggs as part of the PUP/NFI lists suggests his recovery from a torn ACL is progressing ... as he appears to be on track to be on the field for Day 1 of training camp.
This represents a significant shift from how he spent his spring practices. Diggs was present for OTAs and minicamp but was unable to suit up and practice extensively due to his knee rehab.
Stefon Diggs' ability to fully participate in training camp allows the connection between him and Maye to start immediately.
Analysts had speculated that Diggs would begin the regular season on the PUP list, meaning he would have to miss at least the first four games.
