Stefon Diggs, the free-agent wide receiver, signed a three-year contract worth up to $69 million with the New England Patriots, despite recovering from an ACL injury. ESPN reports he is on track for a regular season return. Previously with the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, Diggs was traded to the Houston Texans, where he had notable performances before suffering a knee injury that led to season-ending surgery. His successful visit with the Patriots paved the way for this significant contract, marking a pivotal moment in his career post-injury.
Diggs is believed to be "on track" to return by the start of the regular season, indicating a positive outlook despite his recent ACL injury.
The non-contact injury was diagnosed as an ACL tear in his right knee, forcing him to undergo season-ending surgery last season.
His recovery process impacted his first-ever trip to free agency, with the Patriots being the first team to show concrete interest in his services.
A former member of the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills, he caught 47 passes for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns before his injury.
