With Stefon Diggs just 10 months removed from his ACL injury, it was not really a surprise the 31-year-old receiver didn't play for the Patriots in the team's preseason opener Friday night. But an extremely cryptic answer from head coach Mike Vrabel suggests Diggs' absence against the Washington Commanders was not only a health-related decision.

Diggs' absence could be strictly precautionary, as the 31-year-old is coming off ACL reconstruction surgery. However, he has been fully cleared for contact and has been a regular at training camp. All of the Patriots' other receivers played at least one series against Washington.

New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel had a funny response when asked about Cardi B dating Stefon Diggs.While talking on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast, Vrabel was asked if he was excited to see Cardi B at games this season. He smiled and said: Vrabel joked about going out with his wife and the celebrity couple.
