Stefon Diggs Injury Update: Texans WR Hurts Knee Against Colts in Week 8

What Happened?

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 8 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs went down with the injury in the third quarter after being tackled awkwardly following a 22-yard reception. He was immediately ruled out for the remainder of the game and was seen leaving the stadium on crutches.

Severity of the Injury

The severity of Diggs' injury is still being evaluated, but initial reports indicate that it could be significant. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Diggs is undergoing an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage. There is concern that the injury could be a torn ACL, which would likely end his season.

Impact on the Texans

Diggs' injury is a major blow to the Texans' offense. The 29-year-old wideout has been one of the team's most consistent players this season, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. His absence will leave a significant void in the Texans' passing attack.

Timeline for Return

The timeline for Diggs' return will depend on the severity of his injury. If he has suffered a torn ACL, he will likely miss the rest of the season. However, if the injury is less severe, he could potentially return later in the year.

What's Next?

The Texans will wait for the results of Diggs' MRI before making a decision on his future. In the meantime, they will likely turn to Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins to fill the void in the passing game.
