The Seahawks ended their season on a high note with another thrilling road win over the Cardinals. It was somewhat soured though by a major injury suffered by free safety Quandre Diggs late in the game, though. Diggs went down in the fourth quarter with a dislocated ankle and a broken fibula. His teammates rallied around him and later shared their support on social media.
Several players, including wide receiver Tyler Lockett decided to stay with Diggs overnight in the hospital rather than fly back with the team to Seattle. Last night, Diggs shared that he underwent successful surgery.
Surgery was a success! Super grateful! Thank you all!

According to Ian Rapoport at NFL Network, Diggs faces a recovery time of between four and five months.

Diggs was the most consistent player on defense for Seattle this season but is about to become a free agent. In his end-of-season press conference, head coach Pete Carroll said the team would love to have him back.
