The Seattle Seahawks have brought Trevon Diggs back onto the active roster ahead of Sunday’s road game against the Las Vegas Raiders, elevating the veteran cornerback from the practice squad along with offensive tackle Bobby Hart.
The move, first reported by ESPN’s Mike Garafolo, gives the former Dallas Cowboys star another opportunity to show he can still contribute at the NFL level after a turbulent stretch in his career.
Diggs arrived in Seattle in mid-August looking to revive a career that once placed him among the league’s premier ball hawks.
In 2021, he led the NFL with 11 interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns, earning first-team All-Pro honors and a Pro Bowl selection.
He followed that with another Pro Bowl nod in 2022 before Dallas rewarded him with a five-year, $97 million contract extension the following summer.
Injuries quickly altered that trajectory. A torn ACL cut his 2023 season short after just two games, and further setbacks limited his availability over the next two years.
The Cowboys waived him in December 2025; the Green Bay Packers claimed him off waivers but released him after the season ended.
Seattle signed Diggs on August 19, initially placing the 28-year-old on the practice squad after training camp.
He made his regular-season debut on October 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, logging nine defensive snaps.
A brief promotion to the active roster followed later that month, but the team soon released him and returned him to the practice squad. Through mid-November he has appeared on only 27 defensive snaps this season, recording a single tackle and no interceptions.
That limited production stands in sharp contrast to the disruptive presence he once provided in Dallas.
Even so, the Seahawks have kept Diggs in the organization rather than cutting ties.
His latest elevation positions him as experienced depth behind starting cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe as Seattle prepares for a Raiders team that will test the secondary.
Nothing about the move guarantees significant playing time, yet it places Diggs in position to demonstrate whether he can still impact games for a defense that continues to chase playoff positioning.
For a player whose fortunes shifted rapidly after his peak years, Sunday offers another chance to rewrite the recent narrative.
