A ll signs were pointing toward Stefon Diggs playing in Week 1 throughout the summer, until the receiver poured some cold water on his comeback a few weeks ago. But New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has seemingly ended any speculation over Diggs' Week 1 status with the regular season less than two weeks away.

This comes after New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was asked about Diggs’ status and what the expectations are for Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. “That he’s ready to go, and that he helps our offense, and that he helps Drake (Maye),” Vrabel said.

The Stefon Diggs experience reportedly isn’t going well in New England. Shortly after a tense exchange Thursday with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel over the star receiver’s Week 1 availability, NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry shed a bit more light on a new marriage that’s already on shaky ground.
