  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Lands on IR

    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.

  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Won't play against San Francisco

    Neal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

    Neal popped up on Thursday's injury report as a limited practice participant due to a hamstring issue. He was downgraded to a DNP on Friday and will not suit up for Sunday's NFC West tilt. His absence means one less regular contributor on special teams and less depth in the Seahawks' secondary, and his next chance to play is Week 6 against the Broncos on Thursday.

  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Added to injury report

    Neal (hamstring) was a limited participant at Seattle's practice Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Neal was added to the injury report with a hamstring injury Thursday after opening the week as a full participant Wednesday. The cornerback's status for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers is now a little murky, and he'll have one more chance to practice before Week 5.

  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Full practice Sunday

    Neal (quadriceps) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

    Neal had been dealing with a quadriceps injury but should be all set to go for Wednesday's Week 1 matchup with the Patriots. The cornerback is set to be one of the primary depth options behind Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe, but Neal may be called upon to play some safety since Ty Okada's (hamstring) game-day status is in question.

  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Dealing with leg injury

    Neal has missed four consecutive training camp practices due to a leg injury, Gregg Bell of The News Tribune reports.

    It's unclear when Neal sustained the injury, but his status is worth monitoring over the coming days. He was a third-round selection of the Seahawks in the 2026 NFL Draft, and the rookie out of Arkansas is competing for a rotational role in Seattle's secondary, though his clearest path to playing time figures to be as a contributor on special teams.

  • Seahawks' Julian Neal: Selected by Seahawks

    The Seahawks selected Neal in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 99th overall.

    Neal is a standout athlete at 6-foot-2, 203 pounds with a 4.49-second 40, 40-inch vertical and 134-inch broad jump, but it's a red flag that he played four years at Fresno State and never earned a starting role. He did start for Arkansas as a fifth-year player, but a very safe general rule is that anyone who can't start in four years isn't an NFL starter. If Neal emerges as a viable starter in Seattle, it would be very impressive on the part of coach Mike Macdonald.
