Wide receiver Stephen Diggs will be out for the rest of the 2024 season, a serious blow for Houston Texas.

In the third quarter Texans leading wide receiver Stefan Diggs left the game with a knee injury and did not return to the game. Here’s what happened and his status.

On Tuesday, October 29, the Texans provided an injury update. Diggs suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the 2024 season.

Diggs injured his knee running a route in the third quarter against Kenny Moore. It was a non-contact injury after he planted his knee while making a cut inside. The Texans later ruled Diggs out for the game.

He hurt his right knee on the play, the same knee he injured in 2021 and 2016, and missed time both years.

In a news conference Monday afternoon, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said the team is “still evaluating” Diggs following the injury.

“We’ll see where he is.”

Diggs did not return for the game, which the Texans won 23-20. But he could walk from the pitch to the dressing room under his own power.

Although he was able to go to the locker room, further evaluation revealed that Diggs suffered more damage and a torn ACL.

Through seven games, Diggs had 42 catches for 415 yards and three receiving touchdowns. He also has two rushes for 12 yards and a touchdown as well.
