Seahawks' Brandon Cottom: Returning to Seattle

Cottom (Achilles) signed a contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Cottom spent last preseason with the Seahawks, but he failed to make the final roster cut after tearing his Achilles. The team has not announced any injury updates, but Cottom's return to Seattle is a promising sign that the ailment is behind him. He'll now compete with Joe Sommers and Marcus Lucas for a spot on the 53-man roster.
