Packers Fast-Track Trevon Diggs After Waiver Claim, Eye Possible Week 18 Debut

Green Bay moved for the former All-Pro to cover injuries at cornerback ahead of the playoffs.

Overview

  • Diggs practiced with the Packers on Thursday after Green Bay claimed him off waivers from Dallas on Dec. 31.
  • Matt LaFleur said he could potentially play Sunday at Minnesota as Jeff Hafley emphasized getting him up to speed quickly.
  • The Packers placed Nate Hobbs and Kamal Hadden on injured reserve this week, creating an immediate need in the secondary.
  • Dallas released Diggs citing an accumulation of factors tied to performance and other elements after an injury-plagued stretch with poor production this season.
  • Green Bay assumed the final three years of his five-year, $97 million contract with little guaranteed money, and Diggs reunites with coach Derrick Ansley and Xavier McKinney while declaring, "I still feel like I'm the best."
