Trevon Diggs Intercepts Pass in Seahawks Debut

Coaches will weigh the pick against lingering injury and coverage concerns when deciding Seattle’s final roster.

Overview

  • Diggs recorded an interception in his first game for the Seahawks at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday, getting in front of an underthrown pass and returning it deep before Seattle drew an excessive‑celebration penalty.
  • The turnover set up a scoring drive that ended with a Jason Myers 46‑yard field goal and supplied Seattle’s only defensive takeaway in the preseason finale.
  • Diggs signed a one‑year, minimum‑salary deal with Seattle on Aug. 19 and needed only three defensive series to make his presence felt in the exhibition game.
  • His debut mixed a clear playmaking moment with a missed open‑field tackle on Travis Kelce, and coach Mike Macdonald publicly said he was impressed with how quickly Diggs has picked up the scheme.
  • Diggs is a two‑time Pro Bowler and the 2021 interceptions leader attempting a comeback after knee injuries, and his showing adds a high‑visibility data point to a crowded cornerback competition ahead of final cuts and the Sept. 9 opener.
