Kam Chancellor has ended his lengthy contract holdout and returned to the Seattle Seahawks after missing the first two games of the season.
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.
"I've always been a guy who follows my heart, and just watching my teammates and my team play week to week, first, second game, watching those losses, it hurt me being the leader that I am," Chancellor said after watching the Seahawks open the season with losses to St. Louis and Green Bay.
A three-time Pro Bowler, Chancellor signed a four-year, $28 million extension after the 2012 season, but the deal didn't take effect until 2013.
The Seahawks refused to budge on restructuring a contract that had three years remaining, asserting that it would lead to a stream of players seeking new deals in the early stages of their contracts.
