Stefon Diggs is out for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament

Wide receiver Stefon Diggs' first season with the Texans is reportedly over.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Tuesday that Diggs has been diagnosed with a torn ACL. Diggs came out of Sunday's win against the Colts with a knee injury and has been undergoing further testing in recent days.

Diggs came to Houston via a trade with the Bills this offseason and reworked his contract, making him a free agent this offseason. He will now be on his way to his next contract after a serious injury.

Diggs had 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in his eight appearances this season.

The injury comes at a time when Nico Collins is playing on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, leaving the once-deep Texans receiving corps significantly thinned. Tank Dell, John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and Steven Sims are the remaining receivers on the 53-man roster.
