Piles up catches in loss
Diggs brought in eight of 10 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 24-10 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Diggs paced the Vikings in receptions, yardage and targets, while also notching a receiving score for the third straight game. The 25-year-old hadn't seen double-digit targets since Week 12, but the extra volume still led to a modest yardage total due to the majority of his grabs coming close to the line of scrimmage. Diggs finished 2018 with career highs in receptions (102), receiving yards (1,021) and touchdowns (nine), sending him into the offseason with plenty of momentum. With a year of…read more

Ties career high in touchdowns
Diggs caught two of six targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-9 win over the Lions.
Analysis: Diggs' eight-yard score in the second quarter raised his season touchdown total to eight, matching last year's career high. With Minnesota still battling for a playoff spot, Diggs will do his best to further improve on that number in Week 17 against the ferocious Bears defense.

Gets seventh receiving score
Diggs caught four of seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown while adding a nine-yard carry in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Diggs opened the scoring with a 13-yard touchdown just 3:20 into the contest, but he was pretty quiet the rest of the way as quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for just 215 yards. While Diggs has been held below 50 receiving yards twice in the past three games, he preceded this mediocre stretch with 322 yards over the previous three weeks and has four touchdowns over the past six games. Owners who have ridden him this far should continue to stick with Diggs against the Lions in Week 16.

Leads team through air
Diggs caught four of six targets for 76 yards in Monday night's 21-7 loss to the Seahawks. He also rushed once for five yards.
Analysis: Diggs' performance was highlighted by a 48-yard reception during the second half. Prior to that, the Vikings offense struggled mightily to move the ball and ultimately didn't muster any points until its final drive. Nonetheless, Diggs ended the evening as Minnesota's leader in the passing game, topping the 75-yard plateau for the fourth time in his last five games despite playing through a lingering knee ailment. The wideout will look to keep his strong stretch going Week 15 versus the Dolphins.

Cleared to play Monday
Diggs (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Diggs has been undergoing regular maintenance-related practice designations since late November and never appeared in any danger of missing Monday's contest. The 25-year-old will aim to build on his 2018 numbers against a Seattle defense that is allowing 250.7 passing yards per game.

Limited again Friday
Diggs (knee) practiced in a limited fashion Friday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: If his practice regimen the last two weeks is any indication, the Vikings may keep Diggs on a maintenance plan as long as he's tending to a knee injury. In the sole game in which he played through the issue, he reeled in five of six targets for 49 yards Week 13 at New England. If Diggs does the same Monday in Seattle, he'll face the league's 19th-ranked pass defense (250.7 yards per game).

Logs limited practice Thursday
Diggs (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: After one capped practice, Diggs has already matched his activity level from a week ago, when we went on to be active at New England and haul in five of his six targets for 49 yards. The target count equaled his second fewest of the season, so the fact he appears healthier this week could result in an increase in looks. Assuming he staves off the issue and suits up Sunday in Seattle, Diggs will be looking to produce against a defense that has allowed 8.4 YPT and 12 touchdowns to wide receivers…read more

Makes five catches
Diggs (knee) caught all five of his targets for 49 yards during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Diggs' availability was in question due to a nagging knee injury, but he progressed well enough during the week to suit up. He clearly wasn't at his best, but he still led the team in receiving yardage, though that was more a reflection of his team's inability to generate much offense through the air. Diggs will have an extra day to recuperate before next Monday's matchup with the Seahawks and should be on track to play, barring any setbacks during the week.

Will play through knee injury
Diggs (knee) is active for Sunday's game at New England.
Analysis: Diggs didn't see much of the practice field this week, getting held to one limited session Friday. Along the way, he was optimistic he'd suit up until waking up Sunday morning with renewed swelling in his left knee. Ultimately, he completed a pregame warmup to fulfill his prediction, but the issue with swelling begs the question whether he'll make it through the contest unscathed. If Diggs hits the sideline at some point, Laquon Treadwell and Aldrick Robinson will pick up the slack alongside…read more

Knee swells overnight
Diggs, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, had his injured left knee swell overnight and now needs to test it prior to the 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff before it's determined if he'll play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Diggs missed the first two days of practice this week before getting on the field Friday, albeit on a limited basis. It looked like he was on track to play as a result, but he now appears to be a true game-time decision. Check Diggs' status when the Vikings release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

On track to play Sunday
Diggs (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Diggs missed the first two days of practice before getting on the field Friday, albeit on a limited basis. It would be prudent to check back on Diggs' status when the Vikings release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff, but the wideout shouldn't face any restrictions if he is in fact cleared to play.

Remains confident in availability
Diggs (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, remains optimistic that he'll be available to play, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Diggs was held out of the first two practices of the week, but relayed his expectation of playing in Sunday's game after he was spotted running with a wrap around his left knee Thursday. He then made it back to practice Friday as a limited participant, which bolsters his odds of suiting up this weekend. It would still be smart to confirm his status when the Vikings release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff. In addition to the knee issue, Diggs faces…read more

Officially deemed questionable
Diggs (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in New England, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: As expected, Diggs gets a questionable tag after returning to practice Friday in what appeared to be a limited capacity. He said he intends to play in the game despite missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, but it's probably best to treat him as a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff.

Spotted with helmet at practice
Diggs (knee) is present for practice Friday and wearing a helmet, but doesn't appear to be doing much work, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Despite missing practice the previous two days, Diggs said he expects to play Sunday in New England. He did some running Thursday and was then spotted going through individual drills Friday. It's possible he increases his activity level once the session is closed off to the media, but it nonetheless seems likely the wideout will be listed as questionable when the final injury report is released later Friday.

Set on playing Sunday
Diggs (knee) expects to play in Sunday's game at New England, despite sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Although he was a non-participant Thursday, Diggs was seen running on the side with his left knee wrapped, according to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The four-year vet likely doesn't need many (if any) practice reps to be ready for gameday, but a return in some capacity Friday would provide more confidence that his comments Thursday weren't in vain. It should be noted that Vikings practices this week have featured Adam Thielen, Laquon Treadwell, Aldrick Robinson and Brandon…read more

Missing another practice
Diggs (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Diggs was instead relegated to working out on the side while sporting a wrap on the left knee, which he likely tweaked in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Packers. The wideout's lack of involvement in team drills for back-to-back days doesn't offer much confidence about his health heading into the Week 13 tilt with the Patriots. Diggs may need to turn in a full practice Friday to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend.

Dealing with knee issue
Diggs was withheld from Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Analysis: When he met with the media earlier Wednesday, coach Mike Zimmer provided little indication that Diggs was dealing with an injury, so it's possible the wideout just received some late-season maintenance for the team's first practice of the week. A better picture of where Diggs stands on the health front should materialize based on his participation -- or lack thereof -- in practices Thursday and Friday. Diggs has been extremely productive over the Vikings' past three contests, racking up 31…read more

Misses practice Wednesday
Diggs didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Diggs sat out the Vikings' Week 9 game against the Lions due to a rib injury but has otherwise been a beacon of health this season, maintaining weekly offensive snaps counts of roughly 60 per game. He's been targeted 29 times in two games since the aforementioned absence, which has translated to 21 receptions for 203 yards and two touchdowns. Perhaps he's receiving a veteran's day off, but Wednesday's injury report will declare the reason for his lack of activity.

Stays hot in big win
Diggs caught eight passes (11 targets) for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over Green Bay. He added 12 more yards on one carry.
Analysis: Adam Thielen (eight catches, 125 yards and a score) turned in the better fantasy line of the two, but Diggs led the team in targets for the third straight game. The Vikings decided to use the speedster's athleticism against a young but talented Packers secondary, getting Diggs the ball on a jet sweep and a trio of screen passes. All but one of the gadget plays worked, and the one that didn't got blown up for a 10-yard loss. After a midseason lull, Diggs has come alive averaging 10.3 receptions,…read more

Goes off in loss
Diggs caught 13 passes (18 targets) for 126 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: The Vikings abandoned the run game after falling behind in the first half, and Diggs was the main beneficiary of Kirk Cousins' late offensive surge. The 24-year-old has now turned in back-to-back 100-plus-yard games with a touchdown in each (not counting the game he missed due to a rib injury). This recent stretch shows off Diggs' boom potential, but he still has a lower floor than fellow wideout Adam Thielen if we look at the season as a whole. Still, both wide receivers are must-starts in…read more

Cleared from injury report
Diggs (rib) isn't listed on the Vikings' final injury report for Sunday's game in Chicago.
Analysis: There was never any much doubt regarding Diggs' availability after he came out of a bye week with full practice sessions Wednesday and Thursday. The Bears have been a tough opponent for quarterbacks, running backs and tight ends, but only seven teams have allowed wideouts to produce more receiving yards per game (177.6) this season. Chicago's dominance against the run (3.6 yards per carry) has often forced opponents to attempt a high volume of passes (37.4 per game, ninth-most in NFL). Diggs…read more

Diggs (rib) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: Held out of the Vikings' previous game Week 9 against the Lions due to a rib injury, Diggs is healthy on the other side of Minnesota's Week 10 bye. In conjunction with handling every practice rep Wednesday, the wideout told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network that he was confident he "will play" Sunday at Chicago. With his ribs back to 100 percent, Diggs will take aim at a Bears defense that has allowed 8.2 yards per target and eight touchdowns to wide receivers in nine games this season.

Expects to play this week
Diggs (ribs) said he will return for Sunday's game in Chicago, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Diggs missed Week 9 against the Lions and then got extra rest during a Week 10 bye. After returning to practice Monday without incident, he should be at least a limited participant when the Vikings release their initial injury report Wednesday. Assuming he's able to play, Diggs will face a stout Chicago defense that's allowing just 6.8 yards per pass attempt.

Analysis: Things always seemed to be trending in this direction after Diggs was deemed a non-participant at all three practices this past week. Final confirmation on his Week 9 status will arrive when the Vikings release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Diggs (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is considered a "long shot" to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Diggs was unable to get on the practice field all week, so it comes as little surprise that he's trending toward sitting out for the first time this season. Assuming Diggs is in fact inactive Sunday, he'll have added time to recover from the injury with the Vikings on bye in Week 10.

Diggs (ribs) is listed as a non-participant on the Friday injury report, with a 'questionable' designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Diggs was spotted around the practice field Friday but apparently didn't do enough to warrant a limited designation. It's another hint he's on the wrong side of questionable, a sentiment provided by teammate Aldrick Robinson, who said he and the other Minnesota wideouts are preparing to play more snaps in Diggs' expected absence.

In serious danger of sitting out
Vikings wideout Aldrick Robinson hinted Friday that Diggs (ribs) isn't expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "With Stefon out, a lot of guys are going to play more," Robinson said after Friday's practice. "Me, [Laquon Treadwell] and [Brandon Zylstra] -- all of us are going to play more."
Analysis: Diggs reportedly took part in the early portion of Friday's practice, but he left the field early and was then listed as questionable on the final injury report. While major conclusions shouldn't be made on the basis of one comment from a teammate, it's at least interesting to hear Robinson talking as if Diggs won't be available. The final decision should be revealed no later than Sunday at around 11:30 a.m. EST, when the Vikings release their inactive list. Robinson, Treadwell and tight end…read more

Diggs (ribs) appeared to be limited at Friday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Diggs made his first practice appearance of the week, but he then came off the field for the portion open to the media. He'll presumably be no better than questionable when the Vikings release their final injury report for Sunday's home game against the Lions. A Week 9 absence would free up snaps for Laquon Treadwell and Aldrick Robinson, with Kyle Rudolph and Adam Thielen also candidates to take on some of Diggs' usual target volume (10.6 per game).

Analysis: After taking a hit while hauling in a 19-yard reception this past Sunday against the Saints, Diggs conferred with Vikings trainers on the sideline before returning to the contest, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com. A rib injury was ultimately the culprit and will seemingly impact Diggs' practice reps all week.

Bounces back with big game
Diggs had 10 catches (11 targets) for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: After turning in consecutive 33-yard games, Diggs exploded against the Saints' secondary to lead the Vikings in catches, targets and yards. Fellow wideout Adam Thielen has clearly become the Vikings' top receiver and Kirk Cousins' favorite target, but Diggs has maintained a high target share (10.6 targets per week) in this pass-happy attack.

Quiet despite heavy target load
Diggs turned 14 targets into eight catches for 33 yards and rushed twice for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jets.
Analysis: It's rare that a 14-target, two-carry day results in just 2.6 non-PPR fantasy points, but the Jets did a good job of containing Diggs despite all the attention he saw from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Diggs and Adam Thielen were viewed as comparable receiving options at the start of the season, but the latter has established himself as Minnesota's No.1 wide receiver with seven consecutive games over 100 yards.

Analysis: It was a season low in targets for Diggs, who came into Sunday averaging seven catches off of 11 targets per game. It's probably safe to write Sunday off as a blip, but it warrants mentioning that the Vikings dropped back on just 54 percent of snaps on Sunday as compared 71 percent heading into the week.

Catches 10 passes versus Eagles
Diggs caught 10 of 11 targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Eagles. He also gained 25 yards on two carries.
Analysis: Diggs led the team in targets and receptions, finishing behind only Adam Thielen in terms of receiving yardage. In addition to his busy day on the outside, Diggs made an impact out of the backfield as well by setting a new career high in rushing yards.

Corrals 11 catches in Week 4 loss
Diggs brought in 11 of 15 targets for 123 yards in the Vikings' 38-31 loss to the Rams on Thursday night.
Analysis: Diggs' reception total was a season high and led the Vikings on the night. The 24-year-old now has double-digit targets in each of his last three games, with the fourth-year pro eclipsing the century mark in yardage in two of them. Along with fellow wideout Adam Thielen, Diggs is seeing a significant target share in the Vikings' aerial attack, leaving him in a favorable spot heading into a Week 5 showdown against the Eagles.

Scores two touchdowns versus Packers
Diggs caught nine of 13 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 29-29 tie with the Packers. He also hauled in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: After a relatively quiet start to the game, Diggs posted huge numbers in the fourth quarter to get his side back in it. He caught a three-yard touchdown pass to begin the period and later scored from 75 yards out to bring his team within two. Diggs then capped off the comeback with a catch for a two-point conversion to tie the score with just seconds left on the clock. He didn't enjoy his greatest performance Week 1, but this excellent showing gives him 12 catches (on 19 targets) for 171 yards…read more

Finds end zone in Week 1 win
Diggs brought in three of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown while also gaining eight yards on his sole rush in the Vikings' 24-16 win over the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Diggs and new signal-caller Kirk Cousins connected on a pretty 22-yard touchdown down the left sideline early in the second quarter, capping off a six-play, 53-yard march. The only mildly concerning aspect of Diggs' afternoon was that his six targets were only half of fellow receiver and team pacesetter Adam Thielen's 12 looks, but a one-game sample is naturally too small from which to draw many conclusions. The fact that Diggs and a quarterback that he's presumably still developing chemistry…read more

Draws eight targets from Cousins
Diggs caught four of eight passes for 51 yards during Friday's preseason game against the Seahawks.
Analysis: Diggs' 6.8 targets per game in 2017 paled in comparison to teammate Adam Thielen's 8.9 figure, but Diggs has received more attention from new quarterback Kirk Cousins through three preseason games than Thielen (12 vs. nine, respectively). While this isn't big enough of a sample size to anoint Diggs as Cousins' go-to receiver, it's enough to open that discussion now that the Minnesota starters are done for the preseason.

Not wearing pads Monday
Diggs isn't wearing pads at Monday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Diggs still came out on the field with his teammates and wasn't sporting any sort of wrap or brace. The Vikings may just be rewarding him with a reduced practice workload after he caught three passes for 35 yards and a touchdown on the opening drive of Saturday's preseason win over the Broncos. It was encouraging to see Diggs account for three targets on Kirk Cousins' four pass attempts.

Scores TD in preseason win
Diggs had three receptions for 35 yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Saturday's preseason win at Denver.
Analysis: Diggs and Kirk Cousins showed quick chemistry together as Cousins connected with Diggs on a 28-yard pass with a narrow window for completion on the first-team offense's only drive. Diggs could be a primary benefactor if Cousins is able to take Minnesota's passing offense up another level.

Signing five-year extension
Diggs and the Vikings have agreed to a five-year extension worth approximately $14 million per season, Ben Goessling of The Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: While yet to produce a 1,000-yard season, Diggs has vastly outperformed his fifth-round draft spot, averaging 67 catches for 824 yards and five touchdowns per season despite playing only 13 or 14 games in each of his three NFL campaigns. His new extension -- which will likely rank around 10th to 12th among wide receivers in average annual value -- could look like a slight bargain by the end of the season if new quarterback Kirk Cousins and new offensive coordinator John DeFillippo can help the…read more

Diggs and fellow wideout Adam Thielen traveled to Atlanta in early April to spend time with new Vikings starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: The Vikings made significant changes on offense early in the offseason, luring John DeFilippo away from the Eagles to replace Pat Shurmur as coordinator, then signing Cousins to replace the departed trio of Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater at quarterback. The team also lost running back Jerick McKinnon and added receiver Kendall Wright, but retained four of five starters on the offensive line as well as its top three pass-catchers from 2017 (Diggs, Thielen and Kyle Rudolph).…read more

Diggs caught eight of 12 targets for 70 yards during Sunday's 38-7 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Diggs tied for the team lead in targets, but he made just one play longer than 14 yards and wound up averaging just 8.8 yards per catch. The third-year wideout's usage was slightly down during the regular season, but he still managed 849 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns, not to mention his terrific game-winning catch in the NFC divisional round. Diggs has emerged as one of the bright young receivers in the NFL and will look to take another leap in 2018 as he plays out his rookie…read more

Diggs caught six of 10 targets for 137 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 29-24 NFC divisional-round victory over the Saints.
Analysis: Even though the Vikings' offense got off to a hot start and ultimately scored the first 17 points of the game, Diggs didn't contribute much early on and had just two receptions for 28 yards at halftime. However, the Maryland product came up clutch on several occasions in the second half, and no reception was bigger than his last. With Minnesota down by one point and just 10 seconds remaining in regulation, Diggs hauled in a long bomb at the New Orleans' 30-yard line, and, thanks to whiffed…read more

Diggs had six receptions for 65 yards on six targets, including a 15-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over Chicago.
Analysis: Diggs finished the regular season on a roll with touchdowns in each of his last three games. He finishes the regular season with 64 receptions for 849 yards and eight touchdowns. He had fewer receptions and yards then last season, but more touchdowns (three in 2016). He'll try to keep his touchdown streak going in the playoffs after a bye week.

Diggs corralled five of eight passes for 60 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 16-0 win at Green Bay.
Analysis: As the Vikings inch ever closer to a first-round bye in the playoffs, Diggs himself was the beneficiary of a game plan that mostly turned vanilla after his four-yard touchdown grab with 56 seconds left in the first quarter. By game's end, Case Keenum had 25 pass attempts next to his name versus 33 carries collectively from the team, one of which Diggs took for three yards. If the Panthers lose or tie Sunday and the Eagles win Monday, the Vikings will be locked into the No. 2 seed in the NFC, a…read more

Diggs caught five of six targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Diggs did most of his work near the line of scrimmage, with the exception of a 20-yard touchdown in the second quarter. That trip to the end zone was only his second since Week 3, as Diggs has clearly been eclipsed by Adam Thielen on the wide receiver depth chart. The third-year man out of Maryland has beefed up his PPR value over the past two weeks, though, snagging 11 throws in that span.

Diggs turned 10 targets into six catches for 64 yards in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Diggs was the intended receiver on a fourth-quarter interception thrown by Case Keenum and was once again outplayed by both Adam Thielen and tight end Kyle Rudolph in the passing game. The third-year man out of Maryland started the season hot with four touchdowns in three games but has only reached the end zone once since.

Diggs had two receptions for 32 yards on five targets in Sunday's 14-9 win at Atlanta. He also had one carry for five yards.
Analysis: Diggs appeared to have a favorable matchup with several Atlanta secondary members hurt, but neither Diggs nor Adam Thielen figured prominently in the win as the passing game spread the ball around and the Vikings had success on the ground. Diggs also could have had a bigger day except a long reception was barely ruled out of bounds.

Diggs caught five of seven targets for 66 yards during Thursday's 30-23 win over Detroit.
Analysis: The speedy receiver broke a screen pass for 37 yards at a critical point in the game to both save his fantasy day and help hold off a potential Detroit comeback. It's still been a bit of a quiet stretch for Diggs, as he has just 17 receptions for 203 yards and a single touchdown through the past four games. Adam Thielen's recent ascent (27 receptions, 476 receiving yards and three scores) has cut into Diggs' fantasy value, but there are still enough targets to go around for the latter to be a…read more

Diggs brought in four of six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 24-7 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Diggs saw fellow wideout Adam Thielen explode for a 123-yard receiving day while he had one of his quieter days of the campaign. Diggs' receiving yardage total was his third lowest of the season, as was his 8.0 YPC. The talented 23-year-old is prone to the occasional downturn in production, but he'll undoubtedly continue to be one of the top targets of whoever is behind center. He'll look to get his numbers back up against the Lions in a key Thanksgiving Day showdown.

Analysis: Diggs gave the Vikings the lead early in the second quarter, catching a Case Keenum boot pass in the front corner of the end zone. The touchdown was a welcome sight for Diggs, who was slowed in his first game back from a groin injury before Minnesota's bye. The speedster was thriving with four touchdowns in his first three games before missing time. He returns to a receiving corps that has been dominated recently by Adam Thielen, but the fact that both have been able to hang big games on New…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Diggs (tooth) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Redskins, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Diggs was limited at Thursday's practice after having a root canal at some point this week. Coming out of a bye, he should be fully recovered from the groin injury that hampered him earlier in the season. The real challenge is a matchup with Washington cornerbacks Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland.

Merely dealing with root canal
Diggs (tooth) had a root canal earlier this week and will be fine for Sunday's road game against the Redskins, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
Analysis: Vikings coach Mike Zimmer confirmed Friday that Diggs is merely dealing with a dental issue that won't threaten his game availability. The third-year wideout returned from a groin injury in a Week 9 win over the Browns, catching four of six targets for 27 yards. Coming out of a bye week, Diggs should be back at full strength for a tough matchup with Washington cornerbacks Josh Norman and Bashaud Breeland.

Diggs (tooth) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Diggs returned from a groin injury in time for the Vikings' last game before a Week 9 bye, hauling in four of six passes for 27 yards against the Browns in London. He was subsequently absent from the injury report Wednesday, so Thursday's limited showing is likely a temporary concern. No matter, his status will continue to be monitored as the weekend draws closer.
