Seahawks set initial 53-man roster, release 9 vested veterans including Diggs, Bell
KOMO • • sports
Key Points:
- The Seattle Seahawks acquired cornerback Avery Smith from the Los Angeles Chargers and finalized their initial 53-man roster, releasing nine vested veterans including cornerback Trevon Diggs and running back Velus Jones Jr.
- The team waived 26 players, including several rookies and key position players, who are subject to waiver claims by other NFL teams or may join practice squads if unclaimed.
- Four players were waived/injured, meaning they can be claimed despite injuries or placed on injured reserve if they clear waivers.
- Running back Zach Charbonnet was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, and wide receiver Irvin Charles was placed on injured reserve with a designation to return, both missing at least the first four games.
- These moves establish Seattle’s roster for the regular season, though further changes remain possible through waivers, trades, and practice squad signings.
