Stefon Diggs Exits Medical Tent, Then Powers Patriots’ Comeback Win

The episode may draw an NFL review of concussion-protocol compliance.

Overview

  • After a hard first-drive catch against the Ravens, Patriots trainers brought Stefon Diggs into the blue medical tent for a concussion evaluation.
  • NBC’s sideline report said staff forced Diggs into the tent, physically restrained him, and that he exited through the back before rejoining the sideline.
  • Postgame, Diggs said he was "blacking out," denied having a concussion, described resisting staff to return, and noted he apologized to them afterward.
  • He was cleared to play and finished with nine receptions for 138 yards, including a pivotal fourth-down grab on the go-ahead drive in a 28-24 victory.
  • Multiple outlets reported the league could review whether protocol was followed, with no official discipline announced.
