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.

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.

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.
