Alright, 12s, get ready, because Trevon Diggs just made it official: he’s not just a temporary call-up anymore. After his debut last Sunday, our Seahawks announced they’ve signed Diggs to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on a lasting basis! This isn’t some quick stop, he’s here to stay, and what he brings could be huge for our secondary.
The Big Diggs Deal: What a Former All-Pro Brings to the Emerald City
We all saw Diggs on the field last weekend, right? Nine defensive snaps, getting his feet wet. But this isn’t just some guy we picked up off the street. This is a player who was a 2020 second-round pick by Dallas and, get this, he made first-team All-Pro in just his second season! Think about that for a second. That’s elite talent, period. He’s got 242 tackles, a sack, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, and a mind-blowing 20 career interceptions. TWENTY picks, people! That’s a ballhawk, plain and simple.
Sure, he’s had his battles, battling knee issues that sidetracked him in recent seasons. He was waived by the Cowboys last season, played one game for the Packers, and then got released in January. But that’s the past. He’s here in Seattle now, in the green and blue, and if he can get back even close to that All-Pro form, our defensive backfield is about to get a serious shot of playmaking. We’ve got to be excited about the potential for those 20 career interceptions to start showing up in Lumen Field!
Roster Shuffle: Injuries Pave the Way for a Star’s Return
This move didn’t happen in a vacuum, though. The Hawks had to make some room, and it came with some tough news for our younger guys. Rookie cornerback Julian Neal got placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, which is a bummer for him, no doubt. And wide receiver Irv Charles? He was downgraded from questionable to out and is also on injured reserve, meaning he’ll need to be activated before he can even play a game. It’s never good to see injuries, especially to young talent, but these moves opened the door for a veteran like Diggs to step up and potentially make an immediate impact. It tells you the team sees something special in Diggs and wants him locked in.
Now that Diggs is officially on the active roster, it’s all about what he does next. We’re in the thick of the season, and every game matters. With his kind of talent, even coming off some struggles, he could be exactly what our defense needs to turn some heads. Keep an eye on Diggs, 12s, because those hands and that instinct for the ball could make some serious noise this year!
