In a crucial matchup, safety Ty Okada and safety Quandre Diggs are set to play for the Seattle Seahawks against the Minnesota Vikings. Okada was listed as questionable due to an oblique injury sustained the previous week, but he is officially active for the game. Diggs, a former three-time Pro-Bowler, also recently joined the practice squad and is ready to contribute.
Injury Updates and Roster Moves
The Seahawks enter the game with a complete roster, as there are no players inactive due to injury. However, running back George Holani, who was previously ruled out last Friday, has been placed on injured reserve. To fill this void, the Seahawks promoted running back Myles Gaskin from the practice squad to the 53-man roster. Additionally, running back Velus Jones Jr. was elevated from the practice squad and is active for Sunday’s game.
