Stefon Diggs is missing from the Buffalo Bills minicamp. No reason given publicly, coach Sean McDermott just says he’s “very concerned”. But the NFL star’s adviser says Diggs is in Buffalo. Maximum confusion, then, for the Bills. Now Josh Allen is getting behind his “brother. “

The Buffalo Bills are holding their minicamp from June 13 to 15. Practice is mandatory, even superstar Stefon Diggs should be there. But on Tuesday there was maximum confusion about the wide receiver: Is Diggs there? And if not – where is he and for what reason?

Bills coach Sean McDermott told reporters Tuesday that Diggs was “not there” but everyone else was at minicamp. McDermott is “very concerned” about the 29-year-old, multiple reporters quoted him as saying in unison.

Allen shares blame – and stands behind Diggs

Also sharing the blame is franchise quarterback Josh Allen, who seemed to have a good relationship with Diggs for a long time before things started to rumble between the two of them on the field from time to time.

“There were definitely things last year that I could have done better,” Allen said. “We’ve got to look to get the ball in his hands and get more involved in the game plan. “

In his attempt to moderate the situation, he questioned everything. Even his employer. “Maybe we didn’t communicate well enough. In the end, we all want to put this behind us as soon as possible and focus on the important things.”

There was also a hymn of praise for the absent wide receiver: “I love him. He’s my brother. No matter what or why he’s not there, I’m behind him. I have no doubt that will change soon. “

Diggs advisor and Buffalo Bill with conflicting statements

“The Athletic” later reported Diggs’ adviser Adisa Bakari said his client has been in Buffalo since Monday morning, completed a physical – and met with the Bills’ head coach and general manager over the past two days. Diggs will be there “for the entire duration of minicamp,” The Athletic further quotes the consultant as saying.

Rhetorical discrepancies between franchise and player sides raising some questions: Did Diggs actually meet with Coach McDermott in recent days? And if so, what was the content of the conversation – and why is the coach “very concerned” about his superstar?

When asked by The Athletic on Tuesday, the Buffalo Bills said Diggs was on site Monday and also Tuesday morning, but left camp before Tuesday’s practice session.

Whether it was for personal reasons, an injury or something else is still unclear.
