Former first-round pick + late veteran addition + crowded CB room + final roster projection pressure + objective initial-53 deadline

Former first-round pick Noah Igbinoghene could be squeezed off the Seahawks' initial 53. Igbinoghene had been pushing for Seattle's No. 3 cornerback job, but Trevon Diggs may have changed the equation overnight. Igbinoghene drew praise from Mike Macdonald during camp and was firmly in the competition for a major backup role. Seattle signed Diggs earlier this month, and Diggs made an immediate impact by intercepting a pass in his Seahawks debut. A new final roster projection now has Diggs making the 53 and Igbinoghene on the outside looking in. The former No. 30 overall pick had a good summer, but one late addition may have changed everything.
