Re: 07 Playoff Bound!!!
Hasselbeck's wrist doesn't look like it's a big deal...
Notebook | Hasselbeck's wrist OK
By Danny O'Neil
Seattle Times staff reporter
ATLANTA — The results weren't all positive for Seattle on Sunday.
As far as quarterback Matt Hasselbeck's wrist goes, that's a good thing. A very good thing.
Hasselbeck injured his right wrist early in the second quarter when he fell awkwardly. He returned to the game and while Hasselbeck did not play in the second half, coach Mike Holmgren said that was the plan for playing time and not because of an injury.
Still, Hasselbeck underwent X-rays after going to the locker room, and no fracture was detected.
"I was throwing the ball away and hit the ground," Hasselbeck said. "I don't know if I landed on it or somebody landed on it, but just kind of fell awkwardly."
Hasselbeck had some tape applied in the second quarter, and iced it afterward. He doesn't anticipate it will cause him to miss any practice time. In fact, he threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Bobby Engram after the injury.
