We’re not enjoying a sport for 4 months, he doesn’t present up at some point, he’s nonetheless there…and the media simply blew it up they usually’re nonetheless speaking about it. Let it go. There’s no cause to proceed to speak about it.”

The 29-year-old wideout drew some warmth after attempting to depart the ability earlier than the Payments coaches even made it again to the locker room after the loss. He was stopped by a teammate however booked it out of the stadium minutes later.
Diggs exacerbated the matter after no-showing the beginning of Payments minicamp in June, prompting head coach Sean McDermott to handle his absence, calling the scenario “very regarding.” Diggs’ agent, Adisa Bakari, later advised ESPN’s Adam Schefter that Diggs was, in truth, in Buffalo on the time and he had even taken a bodily.
Whereas Allen admitted McDermott requested Diggs to go dwelling throughout the first day of minicamp, he stated the scenario was later resolved.
“He was on the sphere with us the subsequent day,” Allen added. “It was not a giant deal.”
