Diggs had an NFL-leading 11 interceptions and earned All-Pro
honors in 2021. He made the Pro Bowl again in 2022 but his
performance has declined since, in part because of two major
knee surgeries.
Diggs, 27, joined the Packers just before their final
regular-season game. He played nearly half of Green Bay’s
defensive snaps in his Packers debut as the team rested its
starters in a 16-3 loss at Minnesota.
But he was on the field for only one snap when the Packers lost
31-27 at Chicago in an NFC wild-card playoff game.
That capped a bumpy 2025 season for Diggs.
He played six games for Dallas before sustaining a concussion in
an accident at home on Oct. 16. Diggs didn’t explain the cause
of the injury to reporters until two months later, when he said
he got hit in the head by a mounting pole while trying to
install a TV.
Even after Diggs cleared the concussion protocol, he remained
off the field for what the Cowboys described as lingering knee
issues. Diggs then returned for two games before getting waived
in late December.
In other moves Tuesday, the Packers signed defensive lineman
Jaden Crumedy and quarterback Kyle McCord to reserve/future
contracts.
McCord spent this season on the practice squad of the
Philadelphia Eagles, who selected him in the sixth round of the
2025 NFL draft. McCord set an Atlantic Coast Conference
single-season record by passing for 4,779 yards at Syracuse in
2024 after playing for Ohio State from 2021-23.
