Stefon Diggs Out for Season with Torn ACL, Impacting Texans' Playoff Hopes

The Houston Texans face a challenging road ahead as star receiver Stefon Diggs suffers a season-ending knee injury amid their strong start.

  • Stefon Diggs sustained a non-contact knee injury during the Texans' victory over the Indianapolis Colts, confirmed as a torn ACL.
  • Diggs, who joined the Texans from the Buffalo Bills this offseason, had been a key player with 47 receptions, 496 yards, and three touchdowns.
  • The Texans, leading the AFC South with a 6-2 record, now face depth challenges at wide receiver, with Nico Collins also sidelined by injury.
  • Tank Dell is expected to step up as the primary receiving target, with other players like Xavier Hutchinson and Robert Woods also taking on larger roles.
  • Diggs' injury raises questions about his future with the Texans, as he is on an expiring contract and set to become a free agent next spring.
