Will Stefon Diggs play for the Patriots against the Browns on Sunday? New England WR injury report

After straight wins against the Panthers, Bills, Saints and the Titans, Mike Vrabel’s Patriots will be looking to add the Browns to their list of victims in Week 8.

New England (5-2) sit second in the conference standings behind the Colts (6-1), and face a side who have yet to win on the road this season.

Patriots take it easy with Diggs

At the start of the week, 11 players were listed on the Pats’ injury report - seven of them starters, including wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The four-time Pro Bowler has been with a chest injury and was restricted to limited practice Wednesday and Thursday as a precaution. He is expected to start Sunday’s game.

Diggs has featured in all of the Pats’ seven games this season, racking up 39 receptions of his 44 targets for 456 yards and is coming off a seven-catch, 69-yard performance against the Titans last week, although he is still waiting for his first TD.

Casualty room clear-out

There was more good news for Mike Vrabel as nine other players returned to full practice on Friday. Elijah Ponder, Harold Landry III, Craig Woodson, Christian Barmore, Morgan Moses, Khyiris Tonga, Christian Gonzalez, Jaylinn Hawkins and Charles Woods have all been given a clean bill of health. Kyle Dugger is the only name on the Pats’ IR - he was limited Friday as he recovers from a knee injury.
