Seahawks Add All-Pro CB Day Before Pivotal 49ers Game
The Seattle Seahawks have signed cornerback Trevon Diggs off of their practice squad before their game against the 49ers.
The Seattle Seahawks are set to clash with the San Francisco 49ers in a highly anticipated Week 5 matchup. With a current 3-1 record, the Seahawks find themselves neck and neck with the 49ers at the summit of the NFC West – a position they would share if they emerged victorious in this crucial game.
In preparation for this pivotal encounter, the Seahawks have bolstered their defense by signing cornerback Trevon Diggs off their practice squad, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. This development comes amidst the team's recent placement of cornerback Julian Neal on injured reserve, further strengthening their roster with the addition of a former All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler.
Diggs, having played for the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, is poised to make his mark with the Seahawks. Last season, he featured in nine games across two teams, amassing 27 combined tackles. Notably, he contributed 42 tackles in 11 games for Dallas during the 2024 season. The Seahawks have every reason to be optimistic about Diggs' potential impact on their defense, as they await to see how effectively he can perform in his new role.
