The Minnesota Vikings might have an issue with Stefon Diggs on their hands, and now teammates are questioning if he actually wants to be there.
Diggs missed Wednesday's practice with a non-injury designation and according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, teammates are starting to question what his intentions are.
Diggs has made it clear he is frustrated with the team and he hasn't talked to the media after the last couple of games. Diggs had a decent game in the last game against the Chicago Bears, but the stats haven't been super impressive this season racking up 13 catches for 209 yards and one touchdown.
The missing of practicing and grumblings of frustration surrounding Diggs has led some to wonder if the team will try to trade him. According to Josina Anderson of ESPN, there is at least one team that is interested in trading for Diggs but when they contacted the Vikings they were told he wasn't available for trade.
Diggs isn't the only wide receiver frustrated with the play of the offense. Adam Thielen also had some critical comments after the Bears game saying at some point the deep ball needed to be hit, and that was enough to get Kirk Cousins to apologize earlier in the week.
“No, like he said, it's reality,” Cousins said via ESPN. “I really want to apologize to him because there's too many opportunities where we could have hit him on Sunday, and postgame when I talk to the media, I always say until I watch the film, it's hard for me to really give you a straight answer. Well, now it's Tuesday night. I've watched the film. And the reality is there were opportunities for him.”
The Vikings are only 2-2 and the season can still be saved, but it's clear there are some locker room issues with this squad.
