Seattle Seahawks release veteran cornerback Trevon Diggs

The Seattle Seahawks released cornerback Trevon Diggs on Sunday as the team trimmed its roster to 53 players. Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, joined the organization on a one-year contract in August. Reports indicate the release is a procedural maneuver, with the team planning to re-sign the defensive back to the practice squad in the coming days. The veteran player recorded an interception during his preseason debut against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this week. Diggs previously played for the Dallas Cowboys and spent time with the Green Bay Packers following his departure from Dallas. The Seahawks’ current secondary group remains in a state of adjustment as the team manages ongoing injuries.
