Overview

• Head coach Mike Vrabel said he expects Stefon Diggs to be available for Sunday’s opener against the Raiders.
• Ian Rapoport reported Diggs is ramping up in practice with the expectation he will be active in Week 1.
• Passing his physical cleared Diggs for his signing bonus under a three-year deal reportedly worth up to $69 million with $26 million guaranteed.
• Cleared for training camp but held out of preseason games, Diggs alternated limited and full reps as the team managed his workload; he downplayed the idea of a pitch count.
• New England plans for Diggs to lead the receiving corps and support quarterback Drake Maye, with the team acknowledging but separating recent off-field scrutiny from availability decisions.
