The Facts: According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Diggs (illness) has returned to practice today.

Diehards Line: Diggs was held out Tuesday and Wednesday but HC Mike Zimmer expressed optimism about his availability. Now it appears to be a foregone conclusion -- barring a setbacik -- that Diggs will indeed play. Meanwhile, Pelissero added that Wr Adam Thielen (ankle) present at the start of Thursday's session, but not participating. As previously noted, Thielen needed stitches to close a cut on his ankle suffered during Wednesday's practice. All indications are Thielen will play as well, although he may well be held out of practices the rest of the week.
