Current defensive backs on the Seahawks' active roster include Bradley McDougald, Tedric Thompson, Lano Hill, Ugo Amadi, Marquise Blair, Shaquill Griffin, Tre Flowers, Jamar Taylor, Akeem King and Neiko Thorpe.

Both Hill (elbow) and McDouglad (back) missed Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

In 65 career games, Diggs has recorded six interceptions.

The Seahawks (5-2) travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons (1-6) on Sunday.
