 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 immediately.
Chancellor was seeking an adjustment to his contract that would
increase his 2015 salary.

Josh McCown passed the final step in the NFL concussion protocol,
clearing the quarterback to start Sunday for the Cleveland Browns.
Johnny Manziel started Week 2 in McCown's place and got his first
career victory, a 28-14 win over the Tennessee Titans. But head
coach Mike Pettine said Wednesday that the Browns are going with
McCown, a 36-year-old who has started for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
and the Chicago Bears in the past two seasons.
McCown left his first start with the Browns during Week 1 against
the Jets after he was in a head-on collision at the goal line.
McCown went airborne and lost the ball, leaving the game with a
concussion, and was not cleared for Week 2.

Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller will not face charges after
a woman accused him of assaulting her earlier this month at his home
in Berea, Ohio.
Moeller, 51, was being investigated for an alleged assault of a
Maryland woman who called 911 on Sept. 5 and said she was his
fiancee. In a 911 call, the woman said Moeller "just tried to
strangle me and beat me up and I'm leaving the premises and I've got
to get out of here quickly."
The Browns suspended Moeller indefinitely after the incident and
said in a statement Wednesday that the suspension "remains
indefinite.''

One day after the Cardinals released Kerwynn Williams, the team

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 known, 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.
