About nine months after tearing his ACL in a horrific scene, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been cleared for full participation in training camp, according to The Athletic.

Diggs, who has been romantically linked with rap star Cardi B, injured himself in Week 8 of last season while playing for the Houston Texans – which brought his 2024 campaign to an early end at a tally of 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns.

But now, Diggs is set to fully participate in training camp when it begins on Wednesday afternoon.

Diggs arrived in Houston last season after a strong career with the Buffalo Bills – the Patriots’ AFC East rivals.

He arrived in Foxborough after signing a three-year, $63.5million contract – which has $25million guaranteed.

First-year Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is hoping that Diggs, 31, can be a top target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

The Patriots haven’t had themselves a receiver with over 1,000 yards since their ‘dynasty’ era. Julian Edelman was the last to do so back in 2019.

Diggs is a four-time Pro-Bowler and led the NFL in receptions and receiving yards in the 2020 season.

The Pats will hope to boost their pᴀssing game – which struggled immensely in 2024 under the now-fired Jerod Mayo.

New England finished ᴅᴇᴀᴅ last in the NFL for pᴀssing yards per game (176.1) and none of the Patriots’ receivers or тιԍнт ends caught more than three touchdowns.

Diggs’ tenure in New England has had some road bumps already. He was subject to scrutiny after an incident on a boat in Miami over Memorial Day weekend with Cardi B when the pᴀss catcher was seen with a mysterious pink substance.

Vrabel addressed the incident at the time: ‘Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field.

‘We’re hoping that with our time here on the field today, that when we don’t have a script and we’re on the call periods, that we’re making great decisions. 

The message will be the same for all our players: that we’re trying to make great decisions. Any conversations that I’ve had with Stefon will remain between him, I and the club.’
