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

On Monday, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show” that he expects wide receiver Stefon Diggs to be ready for Week 1 despite not appearing in any preseason action.

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.
