Seattle Seahawks training camp opened in Renton with star cornerback Devon Witherspoon practicing enthusiastically despite his contract extension remaining unsigned after nearly four months. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed confidence in the process, saying "I couldn't have any more confidence in our process and all the people involved."

The delay may relate to Witherspoon sharing an agent with Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who reportedly received an offer that would make him the NFL's highest-paid corner at over $31 million per season. Meanwhile, safety Nick Emmanwori underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery but is expected back by Week 1 on Sept. 9 against New England.

Running back Zach Charbonnet continues ACL rehab with no timetable, though Macdonald praised his progress. Receivers Tory Horton, tight end AJ Barner, and tackle Josh Jones all returned to practice after spring absences.
