Wide receiver Stefon Diggs’s first season with the Texans is reportedly over.
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced on Tuesday that Diggs has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. Diggs left Sunday’s win over the Colts with a knee injury and went for further tests over the last couple of days.
Diggs arrived in Houston via a trade with the Bills this offseason and reworked his contract so that he will become a free agent this offseason. He’ll now head toward his next contract while coming off a serious injury.
Diggs had 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in his eight appearances this season.
The injury comes at a time when Nico Collins is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, so a once-deep Texans receiving corps has been thinned out considerably. Tank Dell, John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, and Steven Sims are the remaining receivers on the 53-man roster.
