Trevon Diggs promoted to Seattle Seahawks active roster

The Seattle Seahawks have promoted Trevon Diggs to their 53-man active roster following a period on the practice squad. The move comes as the team faces a shortage of healthy cornerbacks, specifically after placing rookie Julian Neal on injured reserve with a hamstring injury.

Diggs, a former first-team All-Pro with the Dallas Cowboys, has struggled to regain his previous form following knee issues. After being waived by Dallas and spending a brief period with the Green Bay Packers, he was signed to Seattle's practice squad as an emergency depth option.

During a recent matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Diggs' presence on the field was noted during an interaction with wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans dismissed Diggs' attempts at trash talk, highlighting the veteran's current standing in the league compared to his peak performance in 2021.
