Diggs Fights for Seahawks Roster Spot
28 Aug
Summary
- Trevon Diggs seeks roster spot in final preseason game.
- Diggs signed a one-year contract in August with Seattle.
- He previously set a Cowboys record with 11 interceptions.
The Seattle Seahawks have one preseason game remaining in 2026, a road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. This game presents a critical opportunity for defensive back Trevon Diggs to earn a place on the final roster. Head coach Mike Macdonald confirmed Diggs will be evaluated in this upcoming game.
Diggs joined the Seahawks on a one-year contract valued at $1.215 million in August. He missed the second preseason game against the Tennessee Titans due to the timing of his signing. Now more familiar with Seattle's defensive scheme, his playing time and effectiveness against Kansas City are anticipated.
The two-time Pro Bowler is vying for a depth role, competing against Noah Igbinoghene, Nehemiah Pritchett, and Julian Neal for a potential No. 3 cornerback position. This competition arises after Riq Woolen's offseason departure to the Philadelphia Eagles. Diggs spent his initial NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, notably recording 11 interceptions in 2021, a franchise record. In 2025, he briefly played one game for the Green Bay Packers after a trade from Dallas before being released.
