Overview
- Diggs logged a season-low 26 of 52 snaps in Week 15 and has played 50 percent or fewer of offensive snaps in three straight games.
- Offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels dismissed injury or discipline as causes, citing limited total plays and a wide rotation of contributors.
- The cutback has aligned with a slump, with Diggs totaling eight receptions for 72 yards over the last three games after a 105-yard day in Week 11.
- Diggs said he is adjusting to fluctuating usage, emphasized leadership, and stated he feels healthy following last year’s ACL tear.
- Despite reduced time, he still leads New England with 83 targets, 67 catches, and 731 yards, and McDaniels noted defenses have increasingly doubled Diggs and tight end Hunter Henry.
