Here’s a breakdown of what the Seahawks announced Wednesday.
Signed to active roster
• Running back Cam Akers
Akers comes to the Seahawks after being released on Saturday by the Minnesota Vikings, Seattle’s next opponent. For a full story on the Akers addition, click here.
Signed to practice squad
• Safety Quandre Diggs
• Running back Myles Gaskin
• Wide receiver Jimmy Holiday
The reunion with Diggs, who was a three-time Pro Bowler during a five-year tenure with the Seahawks from 2019-23, was reported Tuesday to be in the works. The Seahawks released Diggs after the 2023 season, and he signed with the Tennessee Titans in August 2024. Diggs was waived earlier this month by the Titans. Click here for more on Diggs’ return.
Gaskin, a Lynnwood native and O’Dea High School and UW Huskies product, returns to the Hawks practice squad after being cut last Thursday.
Holiday is an undrafted rookie from Lousiana Tech. He was released by the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this month.
Promoted from practice squad
• Cornerback Shaquill Griffin
• Linebacker Patrick O’Connell
Griffin, who was a Pro Bowler for Seattle in 2019, returned to the Seahawks for the first time since 2020 this offseason and has appeared in two games.
O’Connell has appeared in at least one game for the Seahawks in each of the past three seasons, including three games this year. The 26-year-old Montana product had nine tackles and a sack while playing a career-high 42 defensive snaps filling in during last Sunday’s win over the Titans, a game that both Ernest Jones IV and Tyrice Knight missed due to injury.
Placed on injured reserve
• Linebacker Chazz Surratt
Surratt suffered an ankle injury on an early Seahawks kickoff return last Sunday and did not return to the game. A five-year NFL veteran, he has appeared in 11 games this season for Seattle.
Designated to return to practice
• Defensive end Rylie Mills
A 2025 fifth-round NFL Draft pick out of Notre Dame, the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Mills has been on the non-football related injured reserve while recovering from a torn ACL he sustained during his senior season with the Fighting Irish.
Waived
• Cornerback Derion Kendrick
The 25-year-old Kendrick has appeared in 10 games for Seattle this year and has two interceptions and five passes defensed.
Kendrick has reportedly been claimed by the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams, reported NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Wednesday afternoon. The 8-3 Seahawks are one game behind the 9-2 Rams in the standings.
Released from practice squad
• Tackle Logan Brown
A 24-year-old product of Wisconsin and Kansas, the undrafted Brown has been with both the Seahawks and Cleveland Browns practice squads this year.
The Seahawks will host the Minnesota Vikings in a 1:05 p.m. game Sunday at Lumen Field. Radio coverage on Seattle Sports begin at 10 a.m. with the pregame show.

Thanks to Carrie Brown for the westward view of our Saturday night sunset. The high today hit 68 at the airport – eight degrees above normal – but nowhere near the record for this date, which was 89 degrees back in 2016. The forecast suggests two more days of partly sunny, almost-70-degree weather, before the chance of rain returns.
CHICAGO (AP) — The struggling New York Mets placed former Seattle Mariners second baseman/designated hitter Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
Mariners Injury Update: Latest on Robles, Vargas and more
The move was made retroactive to Wednesday, a day after Polanco went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts in a 2-1 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 32-year-old Polanco is batting .179 (10 for 56) with a homer and two RBIs in his first season with New York, which has lost nine straight.
“When doctors first took a look at him, it looked like he got hit by a pitch when he didn’t,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “In talking to him, it was just a couple of swings that he took that night. … He didn’t think much of it, but just got worse the following day.
“So you just got to let it calm down a little bit and then we’ll go from there. But we don’t have a timetable for how long this is going to last.”
Polanco, who signed a two-year, $40 million contract with the Mets in December, also has been dealing with an ankle issue.
“He was trending in the right direction,” Mendoza said of the ankle injury. “It’s definitely going to help, obviously now with him being shut down. But the biggest thing now is that we’ve got to take care of that wrist.”
Polanco spent the previous two seasons with the Mariners, who acquired him in a February 2024 trade with the Minnesota Twins.
Polanco struggled during his first season with Seattle in 2024, hitting just .213 with 16 homers in 118 games while playing through a knee injury that didn’t become public knowledge until after the season.
But after the Mariners somewhat surprisingly brought him back for a one-year contract in 2025, Polanco rebounded to hit .265 with 26 homers and an .821 OPS in 138 games last season. He then added three homers during Seattle’s playoff run, along with a 15th-inning walkoff single in Game 5 of the American League Division Series that sent the Mariners to their first ALCS in 24 years.
