The Green Bay Packers have made headlines with their roster adjustments for the 2025 season, highlighted by a significant in-season acquisition. With their cornerback situation strained, the Packers seized the opportunity to claim Trevon Diggs off waivers, a former second-round draft pick who can bolster their defensive lineup during a challenging time.
Despite a lackluster season thus far, where he has not recorded an interception, Diggs has proven his worth in past seasons, boasting a minimum of three interceptions and 14 pass defenses each year during his initial three NFL seasons. Notably, he led the league in interceptions in 2021 with 11, earning a first-team All-Pro selection. While it’s been a while since he reached that level of performance, the Packers are banking on Diggs to help revitalize a cornerback corps that is facing multiple injuries and struggles on the field.
In addition to the roster changes, the Packers’ quarterback, Jordan Love, shared another exciting personal news as he and his partner Ronika announced they’re expecting their first child, a development that adds a joyful dimension to the team’s dynamics. On Thursday, Love returned to practice fully, preparing himself for the demanding playoff run ahead.
The new addition of Diggs comes with anticipation, as he expresses his eagerness to make an immediate contribution in the upcoming game. He is expected to reconnect with Xavier McKinney, a former college teammate from Alabama, as well as Micah Parsons, who he played alongside for four seasons in Dallas.
Even though Diggs faced challenges this season, allowing four touchdowns and lacking pass breakups, the Packers see his potential as comparable to their existing cornerbacks in terms of performance metrics. As the team adjusts to the new arrangements, both in personnel and personal developments, fans can hold onto the hope that these changes will lead to a stronger push in the playoffs. The combination of Diggs’ experience and Love’s renewed vigor could set the stage for a hopeful turnaround in what has been an intense season for the Packers.
