Packers to Debut Trevon Diggs in Week 18 as Starters Rest

Green Bay claimed the veteran corner off Dallas waivers to bolster an injury-thinned secondary.

Overview

  • ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Diggs will see snaps against the Vikings despite Green Bay scaling back many regulars.
  • The Packers are locked into the No. 7 seed, leading the staff to rest a significant number of key players in the finale.
  • Dallas released Diggs earlier in the week, and Green Bay claimed him off waivers for immediate help in the defensive backfield.
  • Diggs has dealt with a concussion and a right knee issue this season, recording one tackle in eight games without a pass breakup or interception.
  • He is under contract through 2028 with no guaranteed money on the remainder, giving the Packers flexibility and framing this appearance as an evaluation opportunity, per reports.
