After a couple weeks of uncertainty, the New England Patriots now say exactly what they expect from Stefon Diggs on September 7,

The Stefon Diggs experience reportedly isn’t going well in New England. Shortly after a tense exchange Thursday with Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel over the star receiver’s Week 1 availability, NBC Sports Boston’s Phil Perry shed a bit more light on a new marriage that’s already on shaky ground.

All signs were pointing toward Stefon Diggs playing in Week 1 throughout the summer, until the receiver poured some cold water on his comebacker a few weeks ago. But Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel has seemingly ended any speculation over Diggs' Week 1 status with the regular season less than two weeks away.
