The 2021 NFL season was a tough one for the Seattle Seahawks and their fans, who suffered through the team’s first losing campaign in 10 years. It ended on a particularly bittersweet note. While they scored a convincing moral victory against the NFC West rival Arizona Cardinals to end the year, free safety Quandre Diggs suffered a major leg injury in the fourth quarter. Diggs dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula, which required surgery.
Great news on this front: yesterday Diggs returned to practice at the VMAC in Renton for the first time in almost exactly four months since the injury.
Feels good to be home!! https://t.co/JfWNWGmZnm

Since coming over in a lopsided trade with the Detroit Lions in October of 2019, Diggs has developed into one of the league’s elite deep safeties. He has totaled 13 interceptions in 38 games and made the Pro Bowl two years running. Diggs’ fine work earned him a three-year contract extension worth $40 million.
