The Buffalo Bills reported to Orchard Park on Tuesday for the second day of organized team activities, but one star player was missing from action.
Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed to reporters that wide receiver Stefon Diggs was not in attendance.
OTAs are optional for players, so it isn't necessarily wrong for Diggs to miss out, but does raise a few eyebrows in regards to the upcoming season.
The Bills season ended abruptly last season with a 27-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the Divisional Round, and Diggs showed clear frustration following the game. He was visibly upset when talking to quarterback Josh Allen on the sidelines with his arms raised.
Diggs finished the game with four receptions for 35 yards and no touchdowns, also recording a game-high 10 targets. He finished the season with 108 receptions for 1,429 yards with 11 touchdowns.
And the Bills showed complete dominance throughout the season, winning 13 games and suffering only 3 losses, so the early playoffs exit wasn't expected.
Diggs took to Twitter following the game his opinions were simple: "Want me to be okay with losing ? Nah."
Along with Diggs, LB Matt Milano, OL Greg Mancz, and RB Latavius Murray were not in attendance.
The OTAs are supposed to help prepare the players for mandatory minicamp, so it will be interesting to see if Diggs makes an appearance then.
