Stefon Diggs opened up on Tuesday with his first public comments about his season-ending knee injury.
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters Tuesday that Diggs had suffered a torn ACL that would end his season. The Texans receiver suffered the injury on a non-contact play in Houston’s game against Indianapolis on Sunday.
Diggs posted on Instagram about the situation Tuesday night. He used several curse words in the caption of his post.
“I just want to say thank you to everyone who reached out in this tough a-s time it mean more than you’ll ever know… sh-t lame fr like sh-t not fair how much work a mf put in… but sh-t here I am … gotta trust God’s timing ima shake back !!! Love yaw,” Diggs wrote (profanity edited by LBS).
Diggs was having a strong statistical season prior to suffering his injury. He had 47 catches for 496 yards and 3 touchdowns this season. This was Diggs’ first year with the Texans after spending the previous four with the Bills.
Houston is 6-2 this season but now is weaker at wide receiver with Diggs out and Nico Collins still on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury.
