Stefon Diggs joins Washington Commanders roster ahead of Week 1 kickoff

Summary

The Washington Commanders signed veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs during training camp to bolster their passing attack. The team intends to pair the 32-year-old with Terry McLaurin to provide quarterback Jayden Daniels with a reliable target. Diggs is roughly two years removed from an October 2024 ACL injury and reportedly shows increased physical burst during team practices. Former Washington linebacker London Fletcher noted that the addition of Diggs shifts the roles of other receivers on the roster. Diggs brings experience from a recent Super Bowl appearance with the New England Patriots to the Washington locker room. The team prepares for its regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
