New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is in line to make his team debut on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday morning.

Signed to a three-year contract worth up to $63.5 million in March, Diggs is working his way back from a torn ACL sustained while playing for the Houston Texans. He did not play in the preseason.

'As of today, he'll be out there,' Vrabel said on WEEI 93.7 FM in Boston.

Diggs tops the team's depth chart among wide receivers ahead of Kayshon Boutte, Pop Douglas and Mack Hollins.

Diggs, 31, caught 47 passes for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight games (all starts) last season with the Texans.

He has 857 career catches for 10,491 yards and 70 touchdowns in 144 regular-season games (136 starts) with the Minnesota Vikings (2015-19), Buffalo Bills (2020-23) and Texans. He also owns 69 receptions for 909 yards and four touchdowns in 14 postseason games.
