It wasn’t the season anyone wanted, but Seattle Seahawks players were upbeat for the most part following the game. Below is all of the news from the pressers to get you all caught up heading into the offseason, starting with an update on Quandre Diggs’ injury, which will keep him out for around four months.
Carroll adds that Diggs also broke his fibula.

"Heart's broken for him getting hurt like that. But he'll be back. He'll make it back. There's some months in here (for recovery) but he'll get back for the season next year and so that's the positive side." https://t.co/jakuj05Ajo

The injury to Diggs was a lowlight in what was otherwise a very strong finish to the season for the Seahawks.

One of the players who finished strongest was Jordyn Brooks, who had 20 tackles and set the Seahawks single-season tackles record with 184, eclipsing a record set by Bobby Wagner in Week 17.
Jordyn Brooks on setting franchise tackle record: "It's a little bittersweet. I know if Bobby was still playing, he would still hold it so I feel like it wasn't a fair shot."
