Stefon Diggs is officially back in action.
The veteran wide receiver has been cleared for full participation in the New England Patriots’ training camp, just months after a torn ACL ended his 2024 season. The update came Tuesday via a report from The Athletic’s Diana Russini.

Patriots' top receiver ready to roll as NFL training camp opens
This is a big step forward for the 31-year-old, who signed a three-year, $69 million deal with New England in March. Diggs was acquired to bring a proven veteran presence to a young Patriots offense and give second-year quarterback Drake Maye a legitimate No. 1 target.
Diggs has been a consistent force throughout his career, posting six straight 1,000-yard seasons before the injury. The Patriots are banking on him to regain that form as they try to rebuild their passing attack.

Maye, the former UNC standout, showed flashes during his rookie year but lacked weapons. With Diggs now healthy and in the fold, New England is hoping for a much-needed spark on offense.
Training camp will be the first real look at how Diggs moves post-injury, and all eyes will be on his chemistry with Maye as the Patriots shift into full preparation mode for the 2025 season.
