Overview

• Stefon Diggs passed his physical before camp and has been fully participating in training sessions, showing the crisp routes and contested catches that defined his pre-injury form.
• He was held out of the preseason opener against Washington in what coach Mike Vrabel called a “coach’s decision,” and told The Athletic he is taking his availability “day by day.”
• Vrabel described Diggs’s recovery as encouraging but said the team will wait until closer to Sept. 7 against the Raiders to finalize plans for his Week 1 status.
• Diggs signed a three-year, $63.5 million deal this offseason after a six-season streak of 1,000-yard campaigns ended by an ACL tear last October.
• Rookie quarterback Drake Maye and the Patriots’ receiving room are integrating Diggs into their offensive game plans while preparing contingency options if he is unavailable for the opener.
