Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, head coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday.
Diggs, 30, was injured in the Texans’ 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. He was hurt on a noncontact play.
Diggs had 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight appearances before the injury.
Houston traded a second-round and fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for Diggs and a sixth-rounder in April. It was the second time in his career Diggs had been traded in the offseason, after he was moved to Buffalo from the Minnesota Vikings in 2020.
Diggs, a fifth-round pick in 2015, had recorded at least 1,000 yards receiving every year since 2018. He entered this season only five yards short of 10,000 in his career, and he is currently at 10,496.
