Stefon Diggs noncommittal on Patriots debut as he recovers from injury: 'Taking it day by day'

Julian Edelman joins Colin Cowherd to discuss Stefon Diggs landing with the New England Patriots, how he fits alongside Drake Maye and what it means for the team’s future under Mike Vrabel.

As the regular season draws closer, Diggs' availability for Week 1 continues to be a concern for the New England Patriots. The star wide receiver was noncommittal when asked if he would suit up Sept. 7.

"We’ll see. Everybody’s excited, man. I’m just taking it day by day. I feel great," Diggs said during a recent sitdown on the "Scoop City" podcast.
