HOUSTON — The Houston Texans had big expectations for their offense following the acquisition of veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs last offseason, but things didn’t unfold as planned. Despite a promising start to the 2024 season, including two touchdown catches in the season opener against the Indianapolis Colts, Diggs’ campaign was cut short after suffering a season-ending torn ACL.
Although the Texans’ offense struggled with Diggs in the lineup, there was hope that his chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud would develop over time. The team remains in need of a reliable target opposite Nico Collins, and bringing Diggs back on a one-year deal could be a smart move.
Despite the serious injury early in his tenure with Houston, Diggs has a strong track record of staying healthy. The Texans’ receiving corps for 2025 will mainly feature Collins, along with Hutchinson and Metchie, but Diggs’ experience and talent could be the key to completing the unit.
NFL reporter James Palmer speculates that Diggs will likely stay with the Texans, citing his contentment in Houston and his sense of unfinished business. Additionally, quarterback C.J. Stroud has voiced his support for re-signing Diggs, making it clear that bringing the receiver back would be a step in the right direction for the team’s offense in 2025.
