Bills’ Stefon Diggs: Going through warmups
Stefon Diggs (knee) is in uniform and going through pregame warmups ahead of Saturday’s preseason matchup with Green Bay, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.Between minor injuries and the reserve/COVID-19 list, Buffalo has rarely had its top four wideouts available at the same time this summer.

Bills’ Stefon Diggs: Catches passes at practice
Stefon Diggs (knee) caught passes from Josh Allen during Sunday’s walkthrough practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.The Buffalo Bills wore jerseys (sans pads) and shorts, but Diggs’ presence was an encouraging sign as he looks to put a knee injury behind him. The issue has kept him out of practice since Aug. 9, a span in which he missed the team’s first two preseason games. It’s unclear if coach Sean McDermott will entertain the thought of getting Diggs some in-game reps in Saturday’s exhibition finale Saturday against the Packers, but the wide receiver’s progress this week will be one to monitor closely to get a sense of his health.

Bills’ Stefon Diggs: Closing in on return to practice
Coach Sean McDermott said Stefon Diggs (knee) won’t take part in practice Sunday, but the wide receiver is “trending in the right direction,” Maddy Glab of the Buffalo Bills’ official site reports.Sidelined since Aug. 9 due to a knee injury, Diggs has missed all on-field work, including practices and two preseason games, in the interim. McDermott hasn’t made a decision on whether Josh Allen will be allowed to play in the Bills’ exhibition capper Saturday against the Packers, but it could be tied to Diggs’ own availability. Thus, if Diggs makes the requisite progress this week, there’s a chance Allen and Diggs will get a possession or two of in-game reps prior to Week 1.

Bills’ Stefon Diggs: Still sidelined Sunday
Stefon Diggs (knee) will be held out of Sunday’s practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.Diggs has been sidelined for nearly a week due to a knee issue, but coach Sean McDermott is of the belief it won’t impact his availability for the regular season. Considering the cautious approach the Buffalo Bills are taking with Diggs, he may not be a candidate to see any preseason action this month, with an eye toward having him out there Week 1. He displayed an instant rapport with Josh Allen in his first season with the team in 2020, compiling 127 catches (on 166 targets) for 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns.

Bills’ Stefon Diggs: Modest output in final game of 2020
Stefon Diggs had six receptions (11 targets) for 77 yards in Sunday’s 38-24 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills’ offensive line struggled against Kansas City’s defense, resulting in modest outputs for the skill position players, Diggs included. In fact, the 26-year-old’s final line was bolstered by an acrobatic big play that was made in garbage time. Despite a bitter finish, Diggs produced career highs in receptions (127), yards (1,535) and targets (166) while scoring eight times across 16 regular-season games. It is a rare occurrence to claim that a receiver that is as highly regarded as Diggs “broke out” in 2020, but that’s exactly what happened after being traded to Buffalo last offseason. Allen and Diggs lifted each other’s games to new levels, firmly placing each in the elite tier of their respective positions heading into the 2021 season.
