"The full experience of Stefon Diggs in the Patriots offense took a while to come about this season, as it appeared the coaching staff was waiting to give him the go-ahead after coming off an ACL injury that ended his 2024 season. He finally had his breakout against the Bills in Week 5 and became an integral part of the offensive game plan since then. That hasn't continued over the last three games, however, with Diggs being on the field for less than 50% of snaps, which was a noticeable problem this past Sunday."
"It's crucial that he is a big part of their offense against the Ravens on Sunday night, and based on Diggs' comments, there's no reason to be concerned about him ahead of the matchup. While speaking to reporters earlier this week, Diggs was asked about the ongoing rumors about his health and quickly put the narrative to rest, suggesting that's why his snap counts have been lower."
Stefon Diggs' full integration into the Patriots offense was gradual after recovering from an ACL tear that ended his 2024 season. He broke out in Week 5 against the Bills and became central to the offensive game plan. Over the last three games his on-field participation dropped to under 50% of snaps, culminating in near invisibility in Week 15. Observers have speculated about injury or coaching game-plan choices limiting his role. Diggs publicly confirmed he feels great and credited the bye week for his readiness. Coaching choices, defensive double teams, and matchup considerations appear to explain usage decisions.
