The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that they have released cornerback Trevon Diggs. The decision comes after Diggs appeared in only two games during the 2026 NFL season, logging a total of 34 snaps.
Diggs, a former Pro Bowler, joined the Packers following his tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, where he had established himself as a key member of their secondary. Known for his ball-hawking skills and aggressive coverage, Diggs had earned accolades for his performance earlier in his career, including a league-leading 11 interceptions during the 2021 season.
His time in Green Bay, however, was marked by limited action. Factors contributing to the minimal playing time have not been publicly detailed, but could include team strategy, depth chart competition, or health issues. The Packers have not released additional statements explaining the rationale behind the release beyond confirming the roster move.
Diggs’ brief stint with Green Bay brings an abrupt halt to what had been an anticipated pairing between the cornerback and the Packers’ defensive unit. Green Bay’s secondary had dealt with a range of personnel adjustments this season, and the release of Diggs leaves a spot open in the defensive backfield as the team looks ahead.
The cornerback will now become available to other NFL teams, adding a notable name to the pool of experienced defensive backs. It remains to be seen where Diggs may land next, but his track record suggests there could be interest from teams seeking veteran leadership and playmaking ability in the secondary.
The Packers continue to evaluate their roster as the offseason approaches, aiming to build around a young core while making adjustments to strengthen key areas. Diggs’ tenure in Green Bay may have been brief, but his release marks another chapter in an eventful career that could still hold more opportunities in the league.
