Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen celebrating with WR Stefon Diggs

Bills Mafia, you can breathe, for now.

From the current slate of reports, and the words of the Bills' franchise quarterback, Josh Allen, things seem to be okay between the organization and Stefon Diggs. Despite Diggs not being at practice today, he was reportedly at the facility.

When the news broke of Diggs' absence paired with Sean McDermott saying he was "very concerned" the fanbase quickly became restless. Over the next few hours, we got a clearer picture of what was going on.

While we are uncertain of the specifics, it appears that Diggs' absence was not football related, as pointed out by Josh Allen. Allen spoke to the media and broke the silence surrounding the All-Pro's availability.

Josh Allen was direct with his response to the media about where he stands with his teammate. "I know, internally, we are working on some things, not football related, Stef is my guy, I f***ing love him." 

With the entire world focused on Buffalo and the Diggs situation, there is a flurry of different reports coming out that it's football-related, or not football related. All we know for certain is what the franchise quarterback has told us, he has Diggs' back. 

Von Miller wasted no time sharing the same exact sentiment as Allen.

Miller, quick to defend his teammate, revealed that the two spoke two weeks ago and that Diggs wants to be in Buffalo. Miller, like Allen, expressed that they aren't concerned with the current situation.

Could the issue be medically related? Is there a rift between Diggs and the coaching staff? Or is this truly outside of the game of football and all is well at One Bills Drive? All we can do is take the word of the team leaders like Allen and Miller and trust the process.

All that matters, ultimately, is that Diggs is on the field for week one, catching passes from Josh Allen.
