• Texans' Stefon Diggs: Goes on IR, done for season

  10/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Texans placed Diggs (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. Houston quickly moved Diggs off the 53-man roster after an MRI confirmed that the standout receiver had suffered a torn ACL in his right knee late in the third quarter of Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts. The Texans will look to get by with Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie at wide receiver in their Week 9 matchup with the Jets on Thursday, but Nico Collins (hamstring) could come off IR in Week 10 and offset the loss of Diggs. The soon-to-be 31-year-old Diggs will head into free agency this offseason rehabbing from a major injury after producing a 47-496-3 line on 64 targets over his eight games with Houston.

• Texans' Stefon Diggs: Tears ACL, out for season

  10/29/2024 • By RotoWire

  Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Tuesday that Diggs suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts and will miss the rest of the season, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports. Diggs suffered the non-contact right knee injury late in the third quarter of Sunday's win, and after he was sent in for an MRI on Monday, the Texans confirmed that he suffered structural damage to his knee. Both the nature and timing of the injury are brutal developments for Diggs, who was playing out the 2024 campaign on a one-year, $22.52 million restructured "prove-it" contract with the Texans. Diggs is now scheduled to hit free agency while facing a recovery timetable that may put his availability for the start of the 2025 campaign in jeopardy. As for the Texans, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie are left as the team's top four receivers for a Week 9 matchup with the Jets, though No. 1 wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) appears poised to return from injured reserve Week 10 when first eligible.

  10/28/2024 • By RotoWire

  Diggs (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's estimated practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Coach DeMeco Ryans has yet to give any updates on his star wideout after Diggs went down with a non-contact knee injury in Sunday's eventual win over the Colts. The Texans now have a quick Week 9 turnaround with a Thursday night game against the Jets up next. Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) isn't eligible to return until Week 10, so the Texans could be down to Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Robert Woods at wide receiver versus New York.

  Diggs suffered a non-contact right knee injury in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said after the game that the wide receiver is still being evaluated and will undergo an MRI, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. Diggs' knee injury could have a wide range of recovery timelines, but the non-contact nature of the injury points to the possibility of the wideout having sustained a torn ACL, which would be season-ending. An update on Diggs' status should surface in the coming days as additional tests are performed on the injury.
