Stefon Diggs had a weird moment during Sunday night’s win over the Baltimore Ravens. Early in the game, New England Patriots fans noticed him briefly disappear from the sideline, followed by an equally quick exit from the blue medical tent. The moment sparked confusion. After the game, Diggs wasted no time clearing the air.

Speaking straight up, the New England receiver explained what went down inside that tent.

“I was blacking out, bro. They were holding me in the tent,” Diggs said.

“They said I had a concussion, but they never touched my head; I never laid on the ground. They monitored me for a concussion. I said, ‘I never had a concussion.’ I was touching my shoulder, so how y’all say I had a concussion? I was fighting with them to get back out there.”

Then again, Diggs doubled down on why he pushed so hard. For him, sitting out was never an option.

“It was the first drive. I’m wired to get back out there to make plays for my team. We had a little stall, so I was like, ‘Damn, I’m supposed to be out there.’ I feel like I let the team down if I’m not out there. I apologized to them afterwards, but you can’t stop me from being out on the field.”

That is the edge Patriots fans expect. That is how Diggs is built. Meanwhile, the scene looked even wilder from the broadcast. NBC’s Melissa Starks dropped a surprising detail midgame.

She reported that Diggs had to be “physically restrained” in the medical tent, per NBC 10’s Nicole Menner, and that the wide receiver “eventually escaped out the back.”

Naturally, Starks’ report caught fire online. Now, league eyes are watching closely. Punishment could still be on the table. Finally, Diggs explained what triggered the whole scare. He landed hard after a 25-yard grab on the Patriots’ first drive. He popped up, flexing his shoulder. Trainers ran through their checks. Diggs shared the moment with a laugh.

“I said, ‘listen, I don’t even remember what I ate yesterday,’” Diggs joked.

For now, Pats Nation waits. The silver lining is that Diggs is healthy. Still, the questions are not fully gone, but he played a good game.

Stefon Diggs became a key player for the Patriots

On Sunday night, Stefon Diggs caught nine passes on 10 targets for 138 yards in a gritty 28-24 win. More importantly, the Patriots’ wideout stayed central to everything the Pats offense wanted to do.

As the season has moved along, Diggs has stacked numbers without noise. He now sits at 869 receiving yards and three touchdowns heading into the late stretch. And with his third grab against Baltimore, he crossed the 70-catch mark in 2025. That milestone quietly put an extra $500,000 in his pocket and gave Pats Nation another reason to smile.

Meanwhile, Diggs’ bounce-back has become one of the most important storylines in The Hub. As the Patriots push toward AFC relevance and playoff football, his impact keeps growing. Signed in the offseason to a three-year, $69 million deal, Diggs has done more than produce. He has given this offense a trusted voice when games tighten late.

Still, this was not a move without doubt. Many around the league called his signing a risk. Diggs arrived after an ACL tear with the Texans. Before that, his run of dominance had stalled. From 2018 to 2023 with the Vikings and Bills, he ripped off six straight 1,000-yard seasons. Then momentum faded. Questions followed.

However, the reset in New England changed everything. His time in Houston ended early due to the knee injury and an uneven fit. Free agency gave Diggs a clean slate. Since landing with the Pats, he has helped reshape the offense. Step by step, he has pushed this team closer to a playoff return. And now, he looks like a key piece again.
