Stefon Diggs Escapes Medical Tent, Then Powers Patriots’ Win Over Ravens

After a sideline evaluation cleared him to play, the receiver could draw NFL scrutiny for leaving the tent.

Overview

  • NBC’s Melissa Stark reported Diggs was forced into the blue tent, was physically restrained, and “escaped out the back” before he was cleared.
  • Postgame, Diggs said he was “blacking out,” disputed having a concussion, and said he apologized to medical staff after returning.
  • Once back on the field, he caught nine passes for 138 yards, including a 21-yard fourth-down grab that keyed New England’s 28-24 comeback.
  • With his third reception of the night, Diggs surpassed a 70-catch threshold in his contract to trigger a $500,000 bonus.
  • No team or league discipline has been announced, though multiple outlets reported the NFL could review the tent incident.
