Former Detroit Lions safety Quandre Diggs is making a return to familiar territory as he signs with the Tennessee Titans, nearly one year after originally joining the team. The announcement was made by Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz. Diggs, 32, started eight games last season for the Titans before suffering a Lisfranc fracture that ended his season after a Week 9 victory against the New England Patriots.
Following his injury, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Diggs has been fully cleared by doctors to return for the 2025 season, indicating a positive outlook for his career moving forward. Diggs gained significant recognition during his five seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, where he was honored as a three-time Pro Bowler. However, his roots are deeply planted in Detroit, where he began his NFL career after being selected by the Lions in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.
During his time in Detroit, Diggs recorded 235 combined tackles and made a lasting impact on the team and its fanbase. In 2019, he was traded to the Seahawks due to reported disagreements with then-coach Matt Patricia, leading to some backlash among fans at the time. Despite the contentious exit, Diggs has repeatedly expressed his fondness for the Lions and the community in Detroit.
Reflecting on his career with the Lions, Diggs emphasized the importance of his time in Detroit, saying that he wished to finish his career there. He shared that signing his extension was a monumental moment for him, illustrating the deep connection he still feels towards the franchise.
As Diggs sets out for this new chapter with the Titans, many fans hope to see him excel and recapture the performance that made him a standout player in the league. His return could also serve as a reminder of the loyalty and dedication that athletes often feel for the teams that first believe in them.
