Texans' HC Ryans Provides Update on WR Diggs' Knee Injury
Ryans: Diggs Progressing, But Timeline Unclear
Houston Texans' head coach DeMeco Ryans gave an update on wide receiver Stefon Diggs' knee injury on Tuesday. Ryans said that Diggs is making progress but a timeline for his return is still unknown.
Diggs suffered the injury in the Texans' 23-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. He underwent an MRI on Monday, which revealed a sprained MCL.
Ryans said that Diggs is "day-to-day" and his status for the Texans' next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday is "uncertain."
"He's getting better every day," Ryans said. "He's working hard in rehab. We'll see how he progresses this week and make a decision on his status for Sunday."
Diggs is one of the Texans' most important players. He is their leading receiver with 28 catches for 388 yards and two touchdowns.
In Diggs' absence, the Texans will likely turn to Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins at wide receiver.
Texans' Offense Struggles Without Diggs
The Texans' offense struggled without Diggs on Sunday. They were held to just 20 points and 286 total yards.
Davis Mills completed just 16 of 29 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown. He also threw two interceptions.
The Texans' running game was also ineffective. They rushed for just 118 yards on 28 carries.
The Texans' offense will need to improve if they want to win games without Diggs.
Texans Hope Diggs Returns Soon
The Texans are hoping that Diggs will be able to return to the lineup soon. He is a key part of their offense and they need him to be healthy if they want to make a playoff run.
The Texans are 1-3-1 this season. They will need to start winning games if they want to contend for a playoff spot.
Diggs' return would be a big boost for the Texans. He is one of the best receivers in the NFL and he would give the Texans a much-needed playmaker.
Conclusion
The Texans are hoping that Diggs will be able to return to the lineup soon. He is a key part of their offense and they need him to be healthy if they want to make a playoff run.
