Seahawks’ Quandre Diggs enjoys a normal offseason that doesn’t involve injury rehab

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:13:58 GMT

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For most of this offseason, Quandre Diggs has been able to usually wrap up his daily workouts before the lunch hour arrives.That’s a significant and welcomed change from a year ago when the Seattle Seahawks starting safety would spend his entire mornings doing rehab after undergoing major surgery on his ankle before getting around to his normal workout.“I literally had a month of offseason to get ready for full season so it was kind of rushed,” Diggs recalled on Tuesday after Seattle wrapped up the first day of its mandatory minicamp. “I didn’t get to do the things I normally get to do in the offseason.”What Diggs experienced a year ago has given him a renewed sense of appreciation for having an offseason that looked more normal and allowed him to get ready for his fourth full season in Seattle the way he wants. It’s also given him a little bit of understanding for what fellow safety Jamal Adams has gone through with yet another offseason filled with rehabbing f...
