The Buffalo Bills are not starting this year off correctly with news of Stefon Diggs coming not showing up to camp.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott told reporters that WR Stefon Diggs is not in attendance for mandatory minicamp this week, per Joe Buscaglia.
McDermott added he’s “very concerned” about Diggs’ absence.
Adam Benigni would report Diggs was at the team facility on Monday for pre-minicamp medical testing but he did not come back today for practice and team activities.

The team is also scheduled to practice Wednesday and Thursday.
“When players miss, in particular player of Stef’s caliber, you’d love to have those players here,” McDermott said. “So, overall been pleased with the attendance and the guys’ effort.”
After the news came out, Diggs’ agent would release a statement saying his client is in Buffalo and took his physical yesterday.
He added Diggs has met with GM Brandon Beane and HC Sean McDermott the past two days, and “will be there for the entirety of the minicamp.”
Diggs, who signed a four-year, $96 million extension last offseason, is a huge part of the offense. He has totaled 1,200-plus receiving yards in each of his three seasons with the Bills. He has totaled 29 touchdowns.
Last year, the 29-year-old appeared in 16 games and recorded 108 receptions on 154 targets for 1,429 yards and 11 touchdowns.
