The New England Patriots are already missing wide receiver Kayshon Boutte.
And then in the second quarter on Thursday night, Stefon Diggs appeared to tweak something.
Diggs was going over the middle and had to dive for a pass from Drake Maye.
The ball went through his hands, and Diggs hit the ground hard.
Diggs grabbed at his right hip area and got up slowly. He walked off, but he clearly was in a bit of pain.

Stefon Diggs injury update
It’s not clear whether Diggs is injured enough to stay out of the game.
The play he tweaked something was third down, so the Pats punted on the next play. Diggs would’ve been going to the sideline either way.
It appeared that teammate Mack Hollins was at least a bit concerned about Diggs.
If Diggs has to sit, the likes of Hollins, Kyle Williams and DeMario Douglas will see more action.
For now, though, Pats fans will hope there isn’t actually anything to worry about here. It remains to be seen if there is.
UPDATE: Diggs returned on the next drive.
