On Tuesday, June 8th, the Buffalo Bills opened their mandatory minicamp and were met with a surprise absence. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who was acquired from the Minnesota Vikings in March, was not present for the start of the minicamp.
Diggs is coming off a career-high season in which he caught a league-leading 127 passes for 1,535 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was acquired by the Bills to give quarterback Josh Allen a reliable target and to help the team take the next step in their pursuit of a Super Bowl.
The absence of Diggs was unexpected and has caused some speculation as to why he was not present. According to reports, Diggs is dealing with an undisclosed medical issue that is not believed to be serious. It is unclear when he will return to the team, but it is expected that he will be back in time for training camp.
In the meantime, the Bills will have to make do without their star wide receiver. The team has a talented receiving corps, but Diggs is the clear leader of the group. His presence will be missed, but the team is confident that they can still have a successful minicamp without him.
The absence of Diggs is a reminder that even the most talented players can be affected by medical issues. The Bills are hoping that Diggs will be able to return to the team soon and that he will be healthy and ready for training camp. Until then, they will have to make do without their star wide receiver.
