Texans wide receiver Diggs to miss rest of season with torn ACL
Stefon Diggs' first season with the Houston Texans is over after just eight games.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that Diggs tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.
Diggs was injured in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on a non-contact play, as he tried to make a cut before pulling up and grabbing his right knee.
An MRI revealed the severity of the injury.

Diggs arrived in Houston as part of a blockbuster trade with the Buffalo Bills this past offseason.
Acquired for a 2025 second-round pick, Diggs reworked his contract with the Texans and will become a free agent after this season.
In his first season with Houston, the 30-year-old Diggs had a team-high 47 receptions for 496 yards with three receiving touchdowns.
A four-time Pro Bowler, Diggs amassed 1,000 receiving yards each of the last six seasons, and led the NFL with a career-high 1,535 yards in 2020.
Diggs is the second receiver to sustain a serious injury this season for the AFC South-leading Texans with Nico Collins currently on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
Collins, who must sit out at least one more game, leads Houston with 567 receiving yards despite being sidelined since Week 5.
