The Seattle Seahawks<\/a> are bringing a former All-Pro cornerback back into the fold before Sunday\u2019s battle with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n Seattle officially elevated Trevon Diggs<\/a> from its practice squad Saturday, Oct. 24, opening up a window for the former Dallas Cowboys<\/a> standout to contribute.<\/p>\n The Seahawks announced the move<\/a> alongside linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo\u2019s elevation and guard Anthony Bradford\u2019s activation from injured reserve.<\/p>\n But the overarching question is, how much will Seattle actually play Diggs?<\/p>\n The 28-year-old has seen limited defensive action this season, but Seattle\u2019s injury situation could spur his usage.<\/p>\n And his performance through three appearances hasn\u2019t been discouraging, even if his playing time was slight.<\/p>\n Diggs\u2019 Snap Count Could Increase Amid Seahawks Injuries<\/p>\n \n Diggs has participated in just 21 defensive snaps across three games this season, averaging seven per appearance.<\/p>\n His workload has declined in each successive contest:<\/p>\n Those numbers suggest a restricted role against Kansas City, barring an adjustment to head coach Mike Macdonald\u2019s defensive rotation.<\/p>\n A reasonable independent projection places Diggs at five to 10 defensive snaps Sunday, with approximately seven as the baseline estimate.<\/p>\n However, that outlook could change depending on the availability of Nick Emmanwori<\/a>.<\/p>\n The versatile safety appeared on Seattle\u2019s Friday injury report<\/a> with a hip injury, earning a questionable designation after participating on a limited basis.<\/p>\n Emmanwori played 58 of Seattle\u2019s 60 defensive snaps against Denver, making his potential absence significant.<\/p>\n Assuming the second-year defender can\u2019t suit up, Diggs\u2019 projected workload could rise to approximately 10 to 20 snaps.<\/p>\n 15 snaps serves as a reasonable estimate if Seattle shifts Devon Witherspoon<\/a> into additional slot responsibilities, potentially generating outside opportunities for Diggs or Nehemiah Pritchett<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Seahawks also have Josh Jobe<\/a> firmly entrenched at cornerback, meaning Diggs could stay as a reserve regardless of Emmanwori\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Julian Neal<\/a> remains on injured reserve with a hamstring issue, while linebackers Drake Thomas<\/a> and Chazz Surratt<\/a> have been ruled out.<\/p>\n Ex-Cowboys All-Pro Has Allowed One Catch With Seahawks<\/p>\n \n Despite Diggs\u2019 playing time being minimal, his coverage numbers mark his contributions.<\/p>\n According to Pro Football Focus<\/a>, Diggs has logged 19 coverage snaps this season, allowing just one reception for six yards.<\/p>\n He has also registered one solo tackle while surrendering a 91.7 passer rating when targeted.<\/p>\n Diggs has yet to record an interception or pass breakup during the regular season, earning a 60.2 overall defensive grade from PFF.<\/p>\n So, on one hand, opposing offenses haven\u2019t generated much against Diggs. On the other, his sample size is far too small to determine whether he\u2019s capable of reclaiming a bigger defensive part.<\/p>\n The veteran\u2019s pedigree is definitely valid.<\/p>\n Diggs earned first-team All-Pro recognition in 2021 after recording an NFL-leading 11 interceptions with Dallas. He also secured consecutive Pro Bowl selections in 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n And there\u2019s a recent connection to Sunday\u2019s opponent, as Diggs intercepted a pass against Kansas City during Seattle\u2019s Aug. 28 preseason finale.<\/p>\n But in the end, Sunday\u2019s matchup is the new \u2014 and perfect \u2014 time for Diggs to achieve additional trust in Seattle\u2019s secondary.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tDuncan Day<\/a> is a sports contributor for Heavy.
