Seahawks QB Hasselbeck practiced but was questionable for Sunday game

On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck took full part in the team’s practice, in an effort to accelerate his return from a broken rib. But it is still questionable if he would be able to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.

It was 17 days after Hasselbeck was hit high in the back by the San Francisco 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis on a dive for the goal line, and Hasselbeck was trying show that he could do everything possible to get out on the football field without question, although he still has to wear bulky rib pads throughout the practice.

It also showed that the Seahawks, who have lost three consecutive games, was desperate to save its season. They expect Hasselbeck to return as soon as possible and might be glad to see the quarterback be able to practice as Coach Jim Mora has set a goal of winning these two remaining games before the bye.

Seahawks center Spencer got hurt in the first week of training camp

The latest injured Seahawks starter was Chris Spencer, who was hurt in the first week of training camp.

It was on Friday morning’s practice when Spencer left on the back of a cart following a pileup during a blocking drill. Coach Jim Mora said that Spencer’s left ankle was injured but he was not sure how serious the injury was.

Other injured players include former Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch and cornerback Marcus Trufant. Branch had swelling on his reconstructed knee during morning practice but soon returned for the night session. Trufant sustained a back injury last week and has not been ready for practice in camp.
