Coach Matt LaFleur said the Packers expect to be without defensive backs Nate Hobbs and Zayne Anderson for the rest of the season after injuries in Saturday’s 41-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Diggs was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 when he led the NFL with 11 interceptions. He has played eight games this season and has not recorded an interception.

The claim continues a trend of Green Bay adding former Cowboys. Defensive lineman Micah Parsons, acquired before the season and now out with a torn ACL, posted a message on social media after the Diggs move: “We’re back.”
