Reports: WR Stefon Diggs visiting Patriots on Thursday

Free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs is visiting with the New England Patriots, multiple outlets reported.

Diggs, 31, had dinner with team staff on Wednesday night with plans for meetings and a physical on Thursday.

The medical exam will be critical as the four-time Pro Bowl wideout is coming back from a torn right ACL.

This is the first known visit for Diggs since the official start of free agency on March 12.

Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight starts for the Houston Texans in 2024 before sustaining the knee injury in Week 8.

He spent the previous four campaigns with New England's AFC East rival Buffalo, making the Pro Bowl and topping 100 catches and 1,000 receiving yards in all four of seasons (2020-23) with the Bills.

Diggs has 857 receptions for 10,491 yards and 70 touchdowns in 144 career games (136 starts) with the Minnesota Vikings (2015-19), Bills and Texans. The Vikings drafted him in the fifth round in 2015.
