Seattle Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor ended his holdout Wednesday after sitting out the first two games of the season in a contract dispute.
The Seahawks, who are 0-2 after losses to the St. Louis Rams and Green Bay Packers, said Chancellor arrived at the team facility on Wednesday morning. It was his first appearance since June’s minicamp and ended a holdout that lasted nearly eight weeks.
Chancellor, a three-time Pro Bowler, did not report to the team at the beginning of training camp, and Seattle played its first two games with Dion Bailey and DeShawn Shead starting at strong safety.
Chancellor has been on the reserve/did not report list, so a roster move will have to be made to add him to the 53-man roster before he can play in a game. The team was granted a roster exemption, allowing him to return to practice.
Chancellor was seeking an adjustment to his contract that would increase his 2015 salary.
n Josh McCown passed the final step in the NFL concussion protocol, clearing the quarterback to start Sunday for the Cleveland Browns.

n Philadelphia Eagles running back DeMarco Murray sustained a hamstring injury in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
The severity of the injury isn’t know, but the Eagles said Murray was limited in practice and sent him for an MRI exam afterward. Murray, who won the NFL rushing title last season with the Dallas Cowboys, has rushed for only 11 yards on 21 carries in the first two games.
