Seahawks' Julian Neal: Lands on IR
Rotowire
The Seahawks placed Neal (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Neal was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hamstring injury, which is severe enough for the rookie third-rounder to warrant a stint on injured reserve. As such, Neal will be forced to miss at least four games, so the earliest he can return is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8. He's mostly operated on special teams this season, but his absence will also weaken the Seahawks' depth in the secondary.
