Seahawks Sign Myles Gaskin, Elevate Quandre Diggs and Velus Jones Jr. After George Holani Goes on IR

Injuries across safety, return units prompt Seattle to tap veteran depth.

Overview

  • Seattle completed the moves Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, elevating Diggs and Jones from the practice squad and adding Gaskin to the 53-man roster.
  • George Holani went on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, creating the roster spot used to sign Gaskin and sidelining him for at least four weeks.
  • With Julian Love out and Ty Okada listed as questionable, D'Anthony Bell is expected to start at safety with Diggs available as an experienced reserve.
  • Special-teams roles are in flux with Dareke Young, Tory Horton and Holani on IR, and reports indicate Rashid Shaheed remains the primary returner as Jones could handle some kickoffs.
  • Gaskin offers depth behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet and may see carries over Cam Akers due to his familiarity with Seattle's system.
