There's a chance Matt Hasselbeck won't see any game action until the regular season starts. No one at Seahawks headquarters Wednesday confirmed that was the case, but it doesn't seem like the team wants to take any chances with the health of its star quarterback. Hasselbeck has taken part in just one full practice since hurting his back on a throw during the first quarter of the exhibition game against Minnesota Aug. 8. He did some drills last Thursday and went through all of Monday's session at the team's new headquarters, but he walked off the field about halfway through Tuesday's session with tightness in his back.

why risk any of your vet starters that have injury issues in the pre-season?

Common sense approach. Seems like a lot of players this year are having back problems. LOL, to many side distractions?

If Hasselbeck is injured, the Seahawks' season is done.

Now if the story was about him not playing in the regular season you would have something. But this is just garbage to fill up space

BUCKGUY, you're the one readin' and respondin'. If Hasselback's booboo is irrelevant, maybe you should spend your time memorizing the OSU depth chart.

Well the preseason is to long anyways. The only players that really should be playing in the preseason are the ones that had gotten injured last year like a rehab assignment in baseball, the rookies, and the guys trying to make the 53 man roster. No need to get a star player hurt in the preseason

I tend to doubt you will even have to worry about the Vikings - Maybe they will make the playoffs next year ot the year after that !!!

Matt doesnt need any more preseason going thru the motions. He will be ready for when the real season starts and the Seahawks one and done playoff ride eventually ends.
