Seahawks add Velus Jones Jr, elevate Trevon Diggs for Week 4
Summary

The Seattle Seahawks announced the signing of Velus Jones Jr. to their active roster ahead of their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones replaces rookie running back Jadarian Price, who has been placed on injured reserve due to a chest injury. The Seahawks also elevated cornerback Trevon Diggs from the practice squad for his first game action with the team. Diggs, who joined the Seahawks during preseason, recorded an interception in a previous appearance against the Chiefs in August. Safety Maxen Hook was also elevated as a precaution due to the questionable status of safety Ty Okada, who has a hamstring injury.
