After a highly documented week that featured a boat and a pink substance that has been drawn into question, Diggs is now in the building. It’s worth noting that these are voluntary OTAs, so Diggs’ decision to report could be in part to gain some good favor with a team that was rumored to be open to cutting the 31-year-old veteran. Head coach Mike Vrabel, when questioned about the video featuring Diggs last week, seemed to downplay the video while adding that he hopes Diggs is making good decisions both on and off the field. Where things truly stand with Diggs and the Patriots at this point is anybody’s guess, but it’s a good sign to see him at OTAs after a week that featured headlines neither side probably wanted. Diggs is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last season and is unlikely to be on the playing field before training camp. A stint on the PUP list could also be in order.

This stems from a highly publicized video from last week that featured Stefon Diggs on a boat that featured a pink substance that has been called into question. However, Zolak says, “It’s not just the boat. There are some other things that I’ve heard that raise questions. Are you all-in here?” on the possibility of the Patriots cutting Diggs, noting that while the former Pro Bowler did sign a three-year, $69 million contract with the team this offseason that “until (Diggs) passes a full physical, he’s entitled to nothing,” which could become meaningful should the team decide to explore his release. Head coach Mike Vrabel said following the video that he has been in communication with Diggs, but where things stand between Diggs and the Patriots is anybody’s guess at this time. He continues to recover from a torn ACL he suffered last season and is unlikely to see the field until training camp at the earliest, but it goes without saying that this could be a situation to monitor in the months ahead.

Vrabel said he is aware of the video that surfaced showing Diggs flashing a pink substance on a boat. He mentioned wanting Diggs to make smart decisions on and off the field but kept his response short. Per ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the NFL declined to comment on the video. While it might not be a great look for Diggs, it’s impossible to draw any conclusions from the short clip. Diggs is currently recovering from the torn ACL he suffered last year and would not be practicing if he were at OTAs, so it’s not much of a surprise that he’s away from the team. It’s likely this story blows over sooner rather than later, with Diggs’ ACL recovery still being the biggest driver of his 2025 outlook.
