Seahawks | Hasselbeck may continue to throw more often Fri Nov 13, 01:44 AM
The Seattle Seahawks rushing attack ranks 30th in the NFL, averaging 84.5 yards per game. The team may choose to use a short passing game to keep the offense moving. QB Matt Hasselbeck threw the ball 51 times during the team's Week 9 game. Head coach Jim Mora said, "I think, really, in the long term, you have to be able to run the football. But I want us to have some success. If success means giving the ball to Matt, and saying, 'Hey, here you go. Go make plays,' then that's what we'll do."

Seahawks | Hasselbeck throws for 329 yards Week 9 Sun Nov 8, 08:20 PM
The Associated Press reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck was 39-for-51 for 329 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception Week 9 against the Detroit Lions. Hasselbeck's 39 completions set a franchise record.
| Our view: The Seahawks chose to use the short passing game to establish makeable down-and-distances instead of the running game for long stretches of the game, including late when they were salting the game away, so Hasselbeck's numbers were strong. |

Eric Williams, of the Tacoma News Tribune, reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (rib) said the healing process for his rib injury has been slowed by coming back from the injury early. Hasselbeck added that he is getting better each week. He said, "One of the things when you come back early from an injury when you really shouldn't probably, you add on some healing time. You probably add on, create some other nagging things. I think that's probably the case. But I hope that I can get there."

Seahawks | Hasselbeck practices in full Friday Fri Oct 16, 07:07 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (rib) practiced in full Friday, Oct. 16, and is probable for Week 6.
| Our view: No problem with the ribs here. Hasselbeck was asking his teammates to chest bump him last week on the sidelines before the game, and he looked great against the Jaguars. This game against the Cardinals could turn into a shootout, and Hasselbeck makes for a strong starting option in week 6. |

Seahawks | Hasselback does not think rib will be an issue Fri Oct 16, 10:37 AM
Clare Farnsworth, of Seahawks.com, reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (rib) said he does not think his rib injury will be a big concern in Week 6.
| Our view: Hasselbeck was asking his teammates to give him chest bumps before last week's game against Jacksonville, so obviously the ribs are no longer a concern for him. At least his pre-game ritual doesn't include bashing himself in the face with his helmet like teammate Owen Schmitt. |

Seahawks | Hasselbeck throws four TD passes Week 5 Sun Oct 11, 08:41 PM
The Associated Press reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck was 18-for-30 for 241 yards with four touchdown passes Week 5.
| Our view: Hasselbeck returned to the lineup in a big way this week, scorching the struggling Jaguar secondary for four scores, two to T.J. Houshmandzadeh and two to Nate Burleson. He showed no ill-effects from his ongoing back issues and the broken ribs that kept him out of the past two games, even gaining 23 yards on three scrambles. |

Seahawks | Mora expects Hasselbeck to start in Week 5 Sat Oct 10, 02:04 PM
The Associated Press reports Seattle Seahawks head coach Jim Mora said he expects QB Matt Hasselbeck (rib) to start in the team's Week 5 game.

| Our view: Hasselbeck indicated that he had a setback Monday, Oct. 5, but was feeling stronger. Seahawks offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said a decision on Hasselbeck's playing status will be made later in the week. It sounds like Seneca Wallace could get the starting nod once again. |

Matt Hasselbeck player page Seahawks | Preparing to play without Hasselbeck Tue Sep 22, 04:10 PM
The Associated Press is reporting the Seahawks are preparing to play without Matt Hasselbeck on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, though the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback is hoping to start despite a broken rib. Seattle coach Jim Mora confirmed Monday that Hasselbeck has a fractured rib from a hard hit in the back by 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis while the quarterback dived for the goal line late in the first half of San Francisco's 23-10 win on Sunday. Asked if he had to plan to face the Bears without Hasselbeck, Mora said, "Right now, we'll probably do that -- unless we get word otherwise."
| Our view: Mora commented that Hasselbeck is looking much better, but we feel there's no need to rush him back from injury. Seneca Wallace makes for a nice waiver wire pickup if you're desperate for quarterback help. Coming out of Iowa State he was very raw as a passer, but has improved his game and now is one of the best backup quarterbacks in the league. |

Adam Schefter, of ESPN.com, reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck's (rib) status for Week 3 is unclear. However, the Seahawks are encouraged that the injury was not more severe, according to a source. Doctors tested Hasselbeck for lung, liver and kidney damage and did not find any, according to the source, but they did discover a fractured rib.
| Our view: Hasselbeck was crushed by 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis, and he's lucky the injury isn't more serious. He had no lung or kidney damage, and could be in the starting lineup for the Seahawks in week three. |

Seahawks | Hasselbeck discharged from hospital Sun Sep 20, 10:35 PM
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (ribs) has been discharged from a San Francisco hospital and was allowed to return to Seattle with the team. Hasselbeck likely would not have been allowed to return with the team if he were seriously hurt.
| Our view: It's still a big problem that Hasselbeck's injury is in the same vicinity as the back problem that kept him out most of last season. |

| Our view: Early indications are that Matt Hasselbeck may be ready for next week. If not, Seneca Wallace will get the start against the Bears. The Seattle wide receivers will have better expected production with Hasselbeck. |

Matt Hasselbeck player page Seahawks | Hasselbeck injured Week 2 Sun Sep 20, 05:29 PM
Mike Sando, of ESPN.com, reports Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck (back) was forced to leave the team's Week 2 game after getting hit in the back on a run toward the end zone. Hasselbeck got up and walked toward the sideline on his own as he signaled he would need a replacement. Hasselbeck's then staggered before trainers caught him, but he was able to get up and walk after being down for a couple of minutes. QB Seneca Wallace replaced Hasselbeck in the game.
| Our view: Hasselbeck fell to the ground on the sideline after gingerly getting off the field under his own power. Early reports are a rib injury, but it's hard not to be concerned about a possible recurrence of the back injuries that have troubled him in recent seasons. Hasselbeck's return is doubtful; Seneca Wallace has replaced him. |

| Our view: Hasselbeck's value has remained steady as one of the first backup QBs off the board around the 9th or 10th round of 12 team leagues. |
