Stefon Diggs is ready for action.
Minutes before the Houston Texans took on the Green Bay Packers, the Texans’ wide receiver was out on the field by himself and got into an altercation with Jaire Alexander near the Packers’ sidelines.
Their verbal argument led to some pushing and shoving, as the entire Packers squad came out to help their teammates while Diggs was by himself.
At one point, Stefon Diggs took off his helmet and wanted more action, but he was pushed away from it.

No punches were thrown so nobody is expected to be fined or possibly suspended.
As for why the Texans weren’t backing their teammate, it appears they were all in the locker room during this melee.
Diggs has a team-leading 37 receptions for 392-yards and three touchdowns on 48 targets so far.
Stefon Diggs And Jaire Alexander Have Quite The History
The bitter trash-talking rivalry between Texans’ Stefon Diggs and Packers’ Jaire Alexander continued this weekend.
The last time wide receiver Diggs and cornerback Jaire Alexander played against one another, the atmosphere was electric before the game kicked off.
The same thing happened today.
The most viral situation was a 2022 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers when Diggs and Alexander essentially ran out of the tunnel together, jawing back and forth.
They’ll have the chance to play against one another for the sixth time in their careers on Sunday when the Houston Texans visit the Green Bay Packers.
