Seahawks Roster Moves Ahead Of Their Week 13 Game vs. Vikings
The Seahawks signed running back Myles Gaskin from the practice squad to their 53-man roster on Saturday, placing running back George Holani on injured reserve to make room on the roster.
The Seahawks also elevated safety Quandre Diggs and running back Velus Jones Jr. from the practice squad.
Diggs, who signed to the practice squad on Wednesday, will be playing his first game with the Seahawks since the end of the 2023 season. During his first four-and-a-half season stint with the Seahawks, Diggs was a three-time Pro Bowler, and after spending the past season and a half in Tennessee, he returned to Seattle this week to provide depth at safety.
The Seahawks are still without starting safety Julian Love, who is on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, while Ty Okada, who has been starting in Love’s place, is questionable due to an oblique injury. Diggs will give the Seahawks added depth behind starter Coby Bryant and D’Anthony Bell, who took over for Okada last weekend, and would likely be in line to start if Okada can’t play this week.
“He’s done a great job,” Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald said when asked about Diggs’ first week back in Seattle. “Great having him here. You have expectations of how he’s going to operate and he’s pretty much on point. It’s great to have him.”
Gaskin, a former University of Washington standout, signed to Seattle’s practice squad earlier this season, and previously has appeared in 46 games with 17 starts over the past six seasons, including five games last season for the Vikings.
Jones, who signed to the practice squad earlier this month, has played in 34 games over the last four seasons, including five with the Saints earlier this year. Jones has significant experience as a kick returner, so could be an option there for the Seahawks in addition to providing running back depth.
Holani, who injured his hamstring in last weekend’s win over the Titans, will now have to miss a minimum of four games before being eligible to return.

The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).
It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.
“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”
Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.
Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.
Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.
“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”
Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.
“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
