Hasselbeck returned in full practice

After sitting out Wednesday’s practice to take care of his broken ribs, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck took part in full practice on Thursday, giving a good sign of his playing status in this Sunday’s home game against the Detroit Lions.

After the practice, Hasselbeck said that he feels similar to how he felt at this point a week ago, giving more confidence to his team and fans that he is ready for playing game in his NFL jersey again. Being a bit beat up after playing all of last weekend’s 38-17 loss at Dallas, Hasselbeck again led the charge of his team during Thursday’s practice.

Hasselbeck got the injury when he was crumpled on the turf after a hit in the third quarter. He still finished the game but missed Wednesday’s practice to nurse the injury. Seneca Wallace ran the first-team offense during his absence.

Seahawks QB Hasselbeck felt fine with his rib

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck went down for several minutes with 26 seconds left before halftime when linebacker 49ers Patrick Willis stuck him in the back. He had to be taken away immediately from Willis and sent to hospital for X-rays and a CT scan.

The fans could ease off for the X-rays were negative while the CT scan was inconclusive and Hasselbeck was able to rejoin his teammates for the 2-hour flight home shortly after the 23-10 loss to the 49ers.

“It is a rib bruise at this point,” Seattle Coach Jim Mora said. “He’s doing much better … he’s feeling much more comfortable. We believe at this point, and it’s very preliminary, that he’s going to be OK.”

Hasselbeck gave fans more confidence by posing on his Twitter page, saying the same as Mora told reporters. No one had given a estimated time of when he would wear back his seahawks jersey and be back with the team.
