Seattle's Terry returns to team

KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Seattle Seahawks tackle Chris Terry returned to practice Monday after serving a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse and personal conduct policies.
"Rules are rules," Terry said. "At some point, you have to learn the lesson and that's what I've done."
He'll play Sunday when the Seahawks (3-1) meet the San Francisco 49ers (2-3). And while coach Mike Holmgren praised backup Matt Hill for his four-game effort, the team knows Terry can produce. The Seahawks are banned under league rules from discussing the nature of the suspension.
Terry agreed in February to undergo counseling and perform community service as part of a deal to defer prosecution of a charge that he shoved his wife into a wall during an argument in the summer of 2002.
Terry was released by the Carolina Panthers in November after failing to keep a court appearance on the charge. He was signed off waivers by Seattle, where he started five games and helped stabilize a line that had been battered by injuries.
