RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II, who's set to return Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, said he's 100% healthy after sitting out the past three games because of a hamstring injury.

"No hesitation," Seattle's first-round pick said Thursday. "I'm confident, feeling great."

That confidence was evident when Murphy was asked about pre-draft buzz linking him to the Falcons. Atlanta instead took quarterback Michael Penix Jr. with the eighth overall pick, clearing the way for Seattle to draft Murphy at No.
