Diggs

Diggs exited Week 9’s game against the Patriots in the second quarter and did not return to the field. The veteran safety has started all eight games he’s appeared in this season and has tallied 42 tackles while earning a PFF coverage grade of 70.6 this season. Third-year safety and former UDFA Mike Brown will likely take over for Diggs moving forward.

Diggs picked up the foot injury in the second quarter and won’t be able to return for the Titans. The 31-year-old will see his snaps taken by Mike Brown.

Diggs can earn up to $5 million on his new contract and rejoins former Seahawks teammate Jamal Adams in the Music City. Last season, Diggs totaled 95 tackles, one interception, and five pass breakups while starting all 17 games he appeared in. Diggs has played in and started every regular-season game over the last four seasons and earned a PFF coverage grade of 55.4 on over 1,100 defensive snaps.

Diggs and fellow safety Jamal Adams were both let go by the Seahawks. Their release comes with a savings of $27.5 million in cap space, per Pelissero. Diggs totaled 95 tackles and one interception for the Seahawks last season and earned a PFF coverage grade of 55.7. A former four-time Pro Bowler, Diggs will be 31 at the start of next season and can still provide ample help to a secondary in need of a veteran presence.

According to head coach Pete Carroll Adams is “as close as you can get” to playing in Week 3. It doesn’t sound like Adams is a lock to go on Sunday, but Carroll also added that he is very likely to play in Week 4 against the Giants if he’s unable to go this week.

Diggs self-reported his own deal on social media, announcing that his 2023 salary has been converted into a bonus. Selected by the Lions in the sixth-round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Diggs is now heading into his ninth year in the league and his fifth with the Seahawks. The veteran safety has been named to three-consecutive Pro Bowls and has 17 interceptions in 55 regular season games with the Hawks. He remains under contract with the team through 2024.

Justin Coleman (calf) is inactive. Joining Coleman on the shelf are CB Artie Burns, CB Sideney Jones, S Joey Blount, WR Dareke Young, OG Jake Curhad and DE Shelby Harris.

Diggs sat out practice on Wednesday and is officially questionable on the final injury report, but there never appeared to be much concern about his availability. The Seattle secondary is likely to be without CB Justin Coleman, who is doubtful with a calf injury.

Diggs also sat out last Wednesday before returning to a full practice Thursday and playing every snap against the 49ers. That will likely be the plan again this week.

Diggs was given a 4-6 month timeline after breaking his leg and dislocating his ankle in the season finale. The Seahawks are counting on him returning to pre-injury form, signing Diggs to a three-year, $40 million extension in March. Diggs participated in minicamp but wasn’t cleared for full-speed drills. He’ll be six months removed from surgery for the start of training camp.
