Seahawks Elevate Two Practice Squad Veterans Ahead of Raiders Game - Field Gulls

On Saturday, November 15, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks announced the elevation of cornerback Trevon Diggs and offensive tackle Bobby Hart from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Raiders, Field Gulls reported.

Both players have already suited up for Seattle this season, though neither has made a noticeable impact on the field. Field Gulls noted that Hart is serving his third and final consecutive elevation as a depth piece behind swing tackle Josh Jones while OT Charles Cross continues to recover from a high ankle sprain suffered in a Week 7 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Diggs is in line to make his fifth appearance of the year. His last outing came against the Kansas City Chiefs, where the cornerback logged just six defensive snaps.

With both Devon Witherspoon and Nehemiah Pritchett healthy, Diggs is once again unlikely to see a significant role barring an injury. The player has recorded just one tackle across 27 defensive snaps this season, while offensive lineman Bobby Hart played his first three snaps in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals.

The decision to activate Diggs raises questions given the team’s current roster limitations. Field Gulls pointed out that the Seahawks are poised to be without QB Sam Darnold due to quad and rib injuries, OG Quenton Nelson with a knee issue, and DT Leonard Williams dealing with a stinger.

Given those absences, it remains unclear why Seattle opted to activate Diggs rather than add depth at a more significant position of need. Several other players were waiting in the wings on the practice squad.

Seattle’s practice squad includes options at each position, but none have spent an extended amount of time with the team. The Seahawks signed OG Cordell Volson on Thursday, DT Cole Brevard two days prior, and QB Adrian Martinez on November 4.

Field Gulls reported that these recent arrivals made it plausible the team did not feel any could make as much of an impact as a player like Diggs. Kickoff for Sunday’s game against the Raiders arrives as Seattle manages these late-week roster adjustments.
