Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs left Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury. He was targeted nine times, catching five passes for 81 yards before leaving the game.
With Nico Collins out with a hamstring injury, the Texans haven't really leaned more on Diggs than they were before, but he was still seeing plenty of volume as the team's top healthy pass catcher.
But will Stefon Diggs be available for the Texans' Week 9 game against the New York Jets? Is Stefon Diggs injured? What is the latest Stefon Diggs injury news?

As of now, the Texans are still waiting for the results of an MRI on Diggs' knee to determine the extent of the injury. But with Houston facing the Jets on Thursday on a short week, it would be a complete shock to see Diggs play in that game, even if he manages to avoid a serious injury.
Stefon Diggs Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 9
Assuming Diggs is out on Thursday night, the Texans will be very shorthanded at wide receiver as Nico Collins remains out with a hamstring injury as well.
Without their top two receivers, the Texans will turn to Tank Dell as the No. 1 receiver. Dell caught four passes for 35 yards and a score this week. After posting explosive numbers as a rookie, Dell hasn't been able to make major plays down the field this year.
TD STANDS FOR TANK DELL ‼️

Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson could see more usage as well, but the biggest beneficiary might be tight end Dalton Schultz, who had a season-high 52 yards against Indianapolis, catching four of his six targets. He is a low-end TE1 play with upside.
