The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for their final preseason contest against Kansas City before trimming their roster to 53 players by Sunday’s deadline. The roster projection reveals an intriguing mix of veteran acquisitions and unproven newcomers as the defending Super Bowl champions prepare for their 2026 season opener against New England.
Among the notable additions is cornerback Trevon Diggs, a former All-Pro from his time with Dallas who will compete for the third cornerback position alongside Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe. Diggs, who recently signed with Seattle, hasn’t played a full season since 2022 and will see action Friday to demonstrate his readiness. Coach Mike Macdonald praised his work ethic and attention to detail during the transition. The secondary will also feature rookie Julian Neal returning from injury after missing most of training camp.
The backfield undergoes significant changes with rookie running back Jadarian Price taking over the lead role previously held by Kenneth Walker III, who departed for Kansas City. Price has not played in any game—college or professional—since November, making his preseason absence particularly notable. The Seahawks plan to add a veteran running back off waivers to bolster depth at the position.
An unconventional addition to the roster is Montorie Foster Jr., who works as a substitute teacher and real estate agent in Ohio. The former high school standout has impressed during training camp and preseason games, earning a projected spot as a reserve wide receiver and special teams contributor following Jake Bobo’s season-ending injury.
