Stefon Diggs Officially a Full Participant at Thursday's Vikings Practice
By Parker White
There's a lot of trade speculation surrounding Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs, especially since he didn't show up to the practice on Wednesday for a non-injury reason, and he didn't shoot down the trade rumors when asked about them on Thursday.
However, Diggs did proceed to practice afterwards, and was a full participant.

There's no doubt that Diggs is a top-flight receiver when healthy. Last year, Diggs eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving to go along with nine touchdowns. However, he hasn't been as big of a part of the offense so far this year, as the Vikings have been more of a run-heavy team with running back Dalvin Cook healthy.

Maybe Diggs' absence Wednesday was pure frustration. It's certainly a good sign that he showed up on Thursday, especially since he's not hurt. Since he was a full participant in this one, expect him to be in the starting lineup on Sunday against the New York Giants.
