Stefon Diggs returned from a torn ACL that prematurely ended his 2024 season, and he has dealt with chest and ankle injuries this season. <\/p>\n

While answering a question about Drake Maye\u2019s ability to throw touch passes, the Patriots wide receiver revealed Wednesday that he has played through a broken finger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI talk to him all the time. I broke my finger<\/a> a couple weeks ago, so I was just telling him, \u2018Hey, I love the way you throw the ball. I really appreciate it,\u2019\u201d Diggs said, via Bernd Buchmasser of patspulpit.com. \u201cHe has the ability to put that touch on the ball and make it really easy to catch. I appreciate that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beat reporters followed up about the injury, and Diggs downplayed it. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t worry about it,\u201d Diggs said. \u201cLeast of my worries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diggs, 31, has shown no limitations this season, playing 57 percent of the offensive snaps and leading the team with 59 receptions for 659 yards in 11 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thankful to be where I\u2019m at,\u201d Diggs said. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time coming, but I think more importantly that I\u2019m just still going right now. We\u2019re in the thick of it. I feel like I can\u2019t get caught up in the moment, but I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t take a moment to thank God and thank my teammates. Thank everybody pushing me to where I\u2019m at right now. But more importantly, I\u2019m just still grinding.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stefon Diggs returned from a torn ACL that prematurely ended his 2024 season, and he has dealt with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302765,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-302764","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302764\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
