Vikings reportedly fine receiver Stefon Diggs more than $200,000 for unexcused absencesHe's expected to play today against the Giants in New Jersey.
Stefon Diggs was fined more than $200,000 by the Vikings for missing practices and mandatory meetings on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week, according to a report by ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
Diggs, who returned to practice Thursday and acknowledged his frustration with the Vikings offense and the possibility of being traded, is active and will play Sunday in New York after head coach Mike Zimmer said Friday he’d “already” been punished — meaning the fines. Diggs declined to talk Friday when approached by a reporter inquiring about his punishment.
Inactive for the Vikings in New York: CB Mackensie Alexander (elbow/groin), LB Kentrell Brothers (wrist/hamstring), DT Armon Watts, OT Oli Udoh, C Brett Jones, WR Davion Davis and DT Hercules Mata’afa.
The possibility of Diggs being traded before the Oct. 29 deadline, or after the season, remains as the Vikings front office has reportedly told inquiring teams it’ll budge with a massive offer. Diggs’ dissatisfaction has been known by teammates for months, sources told the Star Tribune this week, meaning it may not go away very soon.

We've all seen these situations before...

Much as it pains me to say, I don't think this is a repairable situation.

He damn well better play. The idea of him not playing is absolutely ridiculous.

They actually need to use him though. They have the weapons. Use them all. You can't just run.
