Stefon Diggs Kept out of Practice with Hamstring Injury

Diggs' inclusion in the first injury report of the season isn't a fun sight.

The Vikings released their first injury report of the 2019 season on Wednesday afternoon, and it features news on one of the team's biggest stars.

Diggs' DNP on Wednesday was surprising because it had not been announced or reported that he was dealing with any type of injury. That led to plenty of confusion and speculation on why Diggs wasn't practicing. Well, we have our answer. Hopefully this is just a minor hamstring issue that the team is being cautious with and he'll be back out there tomorrow.

The only other player who didn't participate fully is cornerback Mike Hughes, who was limited as he works his way back from an ACL injury suffered last October.
