Overview
- Seattle claimed offensive tackle Kellen Diesch off waivers on Thursday to add depth to its 90-man preseason roster.
- Kansas City signed Diesch on August 20 and waived him on August 26 after acquiring guard Joshua Ezeudu in a trade that created the roster opening.
- To clear the roster spot for Diesch, the Seahawks waived linebacker Chris Paul Jr. with an injury designation that could send him to injured reserve if he goes unclaimed.
- Diesch won a UFL title with the Louisville Kings this spring, appearing in six games and starting two, a performance that raised his NFL visibility.
- Diesch is a journeyman who has been with multiple NFL organizations since going undrafted in 2022 and is expected to serve as a short-term preseason option rather than a confirmed long-term roster upgrade.
