Seattle signs Trevon Diggs to practice squad
- Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Trevon Diggs to their practice squad on August 31, the team said, confirming a move that had circulated on social media. - Diggs, 27, had signed with Seattle on August 19 and was expected back on the practice squad, general manager John Schneider said. - Seattle opens the regular season against New England on September 9, with Diggs listed on the Seahawks’ practice squad page.
The Seattle Seahawks have already made the move that social posts were circulating: cornerback Trevon Diggs is on Seattle’s practice squad. The team announced on August 31 that it signed 17 players to its initial practice squad, including Diggs, after final roster cuts. Seattle had signed Diggs as a free agent on August 19, then released him as part of the cutdown to 53 before bringing him back. The Seahawks’ official roster and transactions pages list Diggs as a Seattle defensive back and include the August 31 practice-squad move. ### When did Seattle actually add Diggs to the practice squad? August 31 is the key date. The Seahawks said that was when they established their initial 17-player practice squad, and Diggs was one of the veterans included on that list. That means the move was official two days before the September 2 social-media chatter cited it as fresh news. (seahawks.com) John Schneider had signaled the plan before the announcement. In the team’s position-by-position review of its initial 53-man roster, the Seahawks said Schneider confirmed Diggs was “expected back on the practice squad” after cutdowns. ### Why was Diggs available for a practice-squad move in the first place? August 19 was Diggs’ first day as a Seahawk. (seahawks.com) Seattle announced then that it had signed the former Dallas Cowboys cornerback after his deal with the club was reported by ESPN and later confirmed by the team. The Seahawks then trimmed the roster to 53 and used the practice squad to keep him in the building. (seahawks.com) Seattle’s own roster review described the 53-man group as an “initial” roster and noted that practice-squad elevations make the broader 70-man setup more significant heading into the opener. ### What do Seattle’s official pages say about Diggs now? (seahawks.com) The Seahawks’ player page lists Diggs as a cornerback wearing No. 16 with seven years of experience. That page also says he was “Signed by Seattle as a FA on August 19, 2026,” and includes his career history with Dallas and Green Bay. Seattle’s transactions and roster-moves pages also point to the same sequence: Diggs joined the club in August, was part of the post-cutdown reshuffle, and was named in the August 31 practice-squad announcement. (seahawks.com) ### What is Diggs’ recent NFL track record? Diggs entered the league as a second-round pick by Dallas in 2020. The Seahawks’ player page credits him with 20 career interceptions and notes that he appeared in 66 games with 63 starts for the Cowboys from 2020 through 2025 before a brief stop with Green Bay. (seahawks.com) NFL.com’s 2026 game log page also shows Diggs recorded an interception for Seattle in preseason action on August 28 against Kansas City. (seahawks.com) That is the only 2026 on-field Seahawks stat shown on the league page surfaced in search results. ### Is he on the active roster yet? No official team page reviewed here says Diggs is on the 53-man active roster as of September 2. (seahawks.com) The Seahawks’ August 31 announcement placed him on the practice squad, and the team roster material available in search results continues to reflect that status. (nfl.com) A later move is possible under NFL practice-squad rules, but Seattle has not announced one in the official material reviewed here. The Seahawks’ next scheduled regular-season game is the September 9 opener against the New England Patriots, the team said in its roster overview. (seahawks.com 1) (seahawks.com 2)
