The Houston Texans improved to 6-2 with a win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. That’s great for their overall record, and it put them in firm control in the AFC South.
Unfortunately, they suffered a huge loss as well during the game when Stefon Diggs went down with a knee injury during the third quarter.
It was immediately concerning since it was a non-contact injury but he walked off on his own power. From there, the updates were minimal on Sunday.
That continued to be the case on Monday as the organization has remained tight-lipped. They did, however, say Diggs will have an MRI to reveal the scope of the injury.

It’s never good to speculate but the lack of information is ominous. Until the team says they’re not concerned, it’s hard not to fear the worst. Especially given their injury history of late.
More Texans News:
Diggs spent the past four seasons with the Buffalo Bills before being traded to Houston this offseason. He’s recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards with three touchdowns.
Houston is already thin at the position with Nico Collins on the IR. The good news there, however, is that he’s nearing a return and should be back — with Week 10 as the date to watch.
Collins was leading the league in receiving yards before injuring his hamstring, so his return would help tremendously. Still, it’s disappointing that Houston hasn’t been able to keep him and Diggs on the field together for long.
