Seahawks Add Trevon Diggs to Practice Squad After Cut
Trevon Diggs has agreed to join the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad after being waived during final roster cuts. The former All-Pro cornerback impressed in the preseason with an interception, but the team opted to keep him off the 53-man roster. He could be promoted to the active roster later in the season.
Diggs’s path back to the field has been rocky since his 2021 All-Pro season, with a torn ACL in 2023, a shortened 2024 campaign, and concussion issues last year that led to his release from Dallas. He finished 2025 with Green Bay before Seattle signed him this month. Coach Mike Macdonald praised his quick grasp of the system, noting his preseason interception against Kansas City, but the team still chose to keep him off the active roster. His practice-squad deal allows Seattle to elevate him later, giving the veteran a chance to contribute without a guaranteed spot.
The Seahawks’ decision reflects a common roster strategy: stashing experienced depth on the practice squad while preserving flexibility. Diggs’s familiarity with high-level play and his proven ball-hawking ability make him a logical call-up candidate if injuries strike the secondary. His contract terms were not disclosed, but practice-squad salaries are standardized, and he remains eligible for promotion at any point during the season.
This move could affect both the Seahawks’ defensive depth and Diggs’s career trajectory. For Seattle, keeping a former All-Pro on the practice squad provides low-risk insurance, potentially stabilizing their secondary if injuries occur. For Diggs, it offers a chance to rebuild value after multiple injury-plagued seasons, though his role may remain limited. Fans and fantasy players may watch for a midseason promotion, but the broader impact is modest—likely influencing team performance in close games rather than shifting league-wide dynamics.
