Seahawks claim offensive lineman Kellen Diesch off waivers from Chiefs
Seattle added offensive line depth by claiming Kellen Diesch off waivers from Kansas City, giving the club another tackle option along the front.
The Seattle Seahawks are taking a flier on the waiver wire for offensive line help. The club claimed tackle Kellen Diesch off waivers from the Kansas City Chiefs, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Diesch spent time with Kansas City after originally entering the league as an undrafted tackle, and Seattle's claim gives the Seahawks another body up front as they sort out depth before the opener.

The Chiefs had waived Diesch earlier this week after a summer tryout stint, and the move fits a familiar late-August pattern: teams with sturdy offensive lines shed depth that clubs needing bodies are quick to scoop up.
