Bills' Stefon Diggs back practicing day after his absence - ESPN

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs is present and participating in the team's mandatory minicamp practice Wednesday. His attendance comes a day after he was not present at the team's first minicamp practice.

An unusual Tuesday began with coach Sean McDermott responding to a question about Diggs' presence for mandatory minicamp by saying he's «not here.» When asked how concerned he was about Diggs' absence, McDermott responded, «Very concerned. Very concerned,» and then declined to get into the matter further or provide any more details.

«When players miss, in particular [a] player of Stef's caliber, you'd love to have those players here,» McDermott said. «So, overall been pleased with the attendance and the guys' effort.»

Diggs was in the building Monday after missing all the team's voluntary offseason training program, per both the Bills and his agent, Adisa Bakari. Diggs took a physical Monday, Bakari told ESPN's Adam Schefter, and met with general manager Brandon Beane and McDermott over Monday and Tuesday.

Quarterback Josh Allen said he did speak with Diggs on Tuesday and that «I'm sure we're going to have some more conversations moving forward and as an organization, as QB-receiver, as an offensive coordinator, everything that goes in.»

His agent said that Diggs «will be there for the entirety of the minicamp.»

Per the Bills, Diggs left the facility before Tuesday's practice. He was not present for any portion of the team's practice on the outdoor field at the facility Tuesday. The team is also scheduled to practice Thursday.

«I know internally we're working on some things, not football related, but Stef, he's my guy. Excuse my… I f---ing love him. He's a brother of mine,» Allen said
