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.
