Summary

Rookie cornerback Julian Neal returned to practice with the Seahawks after missing most of training camp due to a leg injury.

Neal's participation is crucial ahead of Seattle's preseason finale against Kansas City, where he aims to prove his readiness for the upcoming season starting September 9 against New England. The Seahawks had previously considered signing Terrion Arnold, who faces felony charges, and Trevon Diggs, a former All-Pro, to fill this role.
