The Seattle Seahawks promoted cornerback Trevon Diggs from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster. Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowl selection and former Dallas Cowboys player, gets a fresh shot at regular-season snaps with Seattle.
During the 49ers-Seahawks game on October 11, San Francisco wide receiver Mike Evans was caught on video reading Diggs' name off the back of his jersey in an apparent piece of on-field trash talk. The clip circulated across social media, drawing a lot of focus to Diggs just days after his call-up from the practice squad.
