Seahawks to Keep Diggs on Practice Squad After Release
Seahawks general manager John Schneider said the team intends to add cornerback Trevon Diggs to the practice squad. Diggs was cut from the active roster on Sunday but would remain with the organization through the practice squad.
Seahawks general manager John Schneider confirmed the team will sign cornerback Trevon Diggs to the practice squad following his release from the active roster on Sunday. This move allows Seattle to retain Diggs’ services while keeping a roster spot open for other needs. Practice squad players are eligible to be elevated on game days, giving the Seahawks flexibility with their secondary depth.
Diggs, who was cut after the roster deadline, will remain within the organization’s system rather than hitting the open market. The practice squad designation is common for players who show potential but need more development or are recovering from injury. Seattle’s decision signals they value Diggs’ skills enough to keep him close, even if he isn’t on the 53-man roster.
This roster maneuver could affect the Seahawks’ defensive depth and special teams contributions throughout the season. Fans and analysts may view the practice squad placement as a low-risk way to develop a young cornerback, potentially providing insurance if injuries occur. For Diggs, it offers a chance to prove himself within a familiar system, though his path to active game action remains uncertain. The move may also influence how other teams evaluate similar roster decisions.
