Stefon Diggs in Danger of Being Cut by the Pats?

Saturday, May 31, 3:55 PM

According to Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub, a Boston radio station, New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) may not be a lock to remain on the roster. "I came to this show yesterday with the opinion -- not opinion, but the knowledge that it is on the table," Zolak stated during a recent show regarding the possibility of Diggs getting released. "That it is being thought of. And it's not just the boat. There are some other things that I've heard that put some things in question." The 31-year-old agreed to a three-year, $69 million contract in March after amassing 46 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns with the Texans in 2024-25. Unfortunately, his first season in Houston was cut short after he tore his ACL in the Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It's important for fantasy managers to remember that things might not be set in stone, so there is no reason to sound the alarm. If Diggs continues making progress regarding his rehab efforts, there's hope he'll be on the field by Week 4. His presence would undoubtedly be good for second-year signal-caller Drake Maye. But if Diggs gets his walking papers, players like Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Kyle Williams, and DeMario Douglas will have a better chance to climb the depth chart.

Hamstring Injury Likely to Keep Ricky Pearsall Out Until Training Camp

Thursday, May 29, 6:04 PM

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and likely won't return to practice until training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It doesn't sound like it's a serious injury for Pearsall, the but Niners won't take any chances with last year's first-rounder after he also dealt with hammy issues going into his rookie season in 2024. The 24-year-old pass-catcher then suffered a gunshot wound to his chest and didn't make his NFL debut until Week 7. He's expected to have a key role in the offense in his sophomore season with Deebo Samuel Sr. no longer in town and Brandon Aiyuk (knee) unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, but Pearsall is going to lose valuable reps this offseason to gain chemistry with quarterback Brock Purdy. Pearsall could still be ready for Week 1, but this news doesn't do anything to dispel the notion that Pearsall is injury-prone.
