This week was a brutal week for the Seattle Seahawks (2-1) as they took all of the heat from the 33-31 road loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 3<\/a>. The players likely endured the wrath of head coach Mike Macdonald throughout a week of practice. Finally, the Seahawks have to put their rookie starting running back Jadarian Price on IR with a chest injury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is some good news coming from the week as they made roster adjustments to make room for a 53-man roster heading into the Week 4 matchup versus the winless Los Angeles Chargers. One of the moves is elevating former two-time Pro-Bowl cornerback Trevon Diggs from the practice squad<\/a>, along with safety Maxen Hook for the second consecutive week. There is a good chance that Diggs will make his first regular season appearance with the Seahawks.<\/p>\n

Diggs Added to the Regular Season Roster\"Trevon<\/p>\n

The Seahawks don\u2019t have an issue at cornerback this season concerning depth and potential. Seattle gets nickel Nick Emmanwori to full health and is taking a full set of reps. Starting cornerbacks Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe have been great in bursts and Nehemiah Pritchett has been an excellent<\/a> surprise. Nothing is wrong with the first set of cornerbacks, but that doesn\u2019t mean the Seahawks aren\u2019t going to experiment.<\/p>\n

Diggs played only three regular-season games and one playoff game since October last season. The Seahawks had Diggs play a portion of the preseason after being signed. While he had limitations in zone coverage, he still showed he was reliable in man coverage<\/a>. He passed the Seahawks\u2019 test during the preseason, but he acknowledged he needed time to develop with the defense.<\/p>\n

How Much Action Does Diggs Get Versus the Chargers?\"Patrick<\/p>\n

If Diggs plays, he will get the opportunity to play in certain man-coverage schemes or with the second-team defense. Diggs has shown he hasn\u2019t been a consistent play in zone schemes while he was with the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. <\/p>\n

If the Seahawks put Diggs into meaningful reps versus the Chargers, he\u2019ll play some boundary cornerback, which will push Witherspoon to a slot position. The Seahawks had one safety on the field, two boundary corners and two slot corners in Week 3 against the Commanders. This could be a similar scheme Seattle utilizes again.<\/p>\n

Diggs\u2019 addition to the roster might push rookie cornerback Julian Neal into being a healthy inactive player against the Chargers. Neal, however, has been a special teams defender for the first three games for Seattle. If Neal is inactive, the Seahawks will need another player to step up.<\/p>\n

Diggs\u2019 addition doesn’t mean that Neal or Smith will be inactive for the game, but the Seahawks would have too many cornerbacks on the game-day roster. This would force one position group to be down a player.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks could have Diggs play a handful or a lot of snaps, against a Chargers team<\/a> that plays a mixture of short-passing, thanks to the new addition of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, and the deep-passing game due to the arm strength of quarterback Justin Herbert. Either way, it feels the Seahawks will do their due diligence on Diggs as a potential role player in the Seahawks\u2019 Dark Side Defense.<\/p>\n
