Seahawks News
The Seahawks are planning to reunite with a former Pro Bowl defender. ESPN reports the team is expected to sign veteran safety Quandre Diggs to their practice squad.
Diggs made three Pro Bowls over his four and a half seasons in Seattle before he was released in 2024. After that, he signed with the Tennessee Titans and made 12 starts with the team before he was waived earlier this month.
The Seahawks will look for Diggs to add some depth to their secondary with starting safety Julian Love and his backup Ty Okada each dealing with injuries. Love is eligible to come off the injured reserve this week after missing four games, but it’s unclear when he’ll actually return.
