Wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been cleared to practice just as the New England Patriots opened training camp. Diggs is coming off of a torn ACL that he suffered in week 8 last season.

The Patriots signed Diggs in free agency expecting him to be their lead wide receiver this year, him being able to participate at the beginning of training camp is a great sign.

Diggs has been the first Patriots pass catcher off the board for the whole offseason, typically somewhere in the seventh round. Now with news that he’s cleared to practice concerns about his knee could begin to subside and his price should rise.
