The Seattle Seahawks elevated cornerback Trevon Diggs from the practice squad on Saturday, Nov. 14, ahead of their game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Offensive tackle Bobby Hart was also elevated.
The move gives Diggs another opportunity to contribute after a career that once established him as one of the NFL’s top playmakers in the secondary. The two-time Pro Bowler signed a five-year, $97 million extension with the Dallas Cowboys in 2023, but he is now working to earn a role in Seattle.
## Diggs Gets Another Opportunity in Seattle
Diggs, 28, joined the Seahawks in August and has yet to secure a consistent place in the defense. Seattle initially assigned him to the practice squad after training camp. He made his regular-season debut against the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 4, playing nine defensive snaps.
He later joined the active roster before Seattle released him and returned him to the practice squad. Diggs has played 27 defensive snaps this season, recording one tackle and no interceptions.
His recent elevation gives head coach Mike Macdonald another experienced option behind starting cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe. It does not guarantee Diggs a larger role against Las Vegas, but it gives him a chance to show he can help a Seattle defense with playoff ambitions.
## A Former All-Pro Working to Rebound
Diggs led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, returning two for touchdowns. That season earned him first-team All-Pro honors and his first Pro Bowl selection. He made the Pro Bowl again in 2022.
Dallas signed him to a five-year, $97 million extension in July 2023, which included a $21.25 million signing bonus. However, injuries altered the course of his career. A torn ACL ended his 2023 season after two games, and further injuries limited his availability over the next two seasons.
The Cowboys waived Diggs in December 2025. Green Bay claimed him, then released him after the season. Seattle signed him on Aug. 19 to add experience and depth to its secondary, and he has largely remained in a reserve role.
Diggs now has another chance to contribute against the Raiders. His past success shows the impact he can make when playing the ball, but whether he can recapture that form remains uncertain.
