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 Franciscos 23-10 win on Sunday.
Asked if he had to plan to face the Bears without Hasselbeck, Mora said, "Right
now, well probably do that -- unless we get word otherwise." Mora did say
Hasselbeck "seems to be doing a lot better today." Backup Seneca Wallace, who
started eight games last season when Hasselbeck was out with a bulging disk in
his back, would make his 13th career start if Hasselbeck cant go. Wallace
completed 15 of 23 passes for 127 yards with a touchdown and interception while
finishing Sundays loss. Hasselbeck, who turns 34 on Friday, said the fracture is
on the back of a top rib and that the pain is near the shoulder. He said he
broke a rib once before while with the Seahawks and played the next game. He
didnt specify when. "I have definitely felt worse. I have definitely woken up on
a Monday and felt worse," Hasselbeck said Monday in an empty locker room,
standing stiffly with his hands on his hips. "Im absolutely hoping to play. ...
I think its one of things you just got to suck it up." Hasselbeck struggled
toward the sideline after Willis hit, making it look as if he was loopy. He said
he was lightheaded because he couldnt breathe. He took a trainers advice to go
to the ground before leaving the field, while Wallace scrambled to enter the
game. An X-ray at the stadium was negative. The Seahawks then had him rushed to
Stanford Medical Center, because they feared blood in his urine or internal
injuries such as a damaged lung. He underwent an electrocardiogram test and a CT
scan. The scan showed the fractured rib. "Never had to go to the hospital during
a game. That was different," he said. Hasselbeck said he wasnt breathing more
easily until he took medication just before rejoining the team for its two-hour
flight home Sunday evening. Cowboys Running back Marion Barber has a left thigh
injury and his availability is uncertain. Coach Wade Phillips said Barber had an
MRI on Monday, a day after he was hurt on a 35-yard run in the fourth quarter of
the Cowboys 33-31 loss to the Giants. Barber gingerly walked off the field after
his final run in the home opener. The hard-running Barber appeared to stumble on
his own just before getting tackled at the 7. Barber had 18 carries for 124
yards with a two-yard touchdown. Raiders Right guard Robert Gallery is expected
to miss four to six weeks after undergoing surgery Monday on a broken bone in
his left leg. Gallery was injured in the second half of Oaklands 13-10 victory
in Kansas City. Rams Offensive tackle Jason Smith, the second overall pick in
this years draft, sprained his left knee and will be listed as doubtful for
Sundays home game against Green Bay. An MRI exam revealed the extent of the
injury, which coach Steve Spagnuolo said Monday would not require surgery.
Adam Goldberg finished the game at Smiths position and would likely replace him
as the starter. Smith said he was hurt during the Rams touchdown drive in the
second quarter, although he stayed in for several more plays before leaving.
Center Jason Brown also has a knee sprain; Spagnuolo said Brown is day to day.
Offensive lineman John Greco (wrist) is set to return this week after missing
the first two games. Giants Pro Bowl DE Justin Tuck and starting receiver
Domenik Hixon have undergone tests for injuries sustained against the Cowboys.
Tuck hurt his left shoulder when tripped by Cowboys tackle Flozell Adams. He
watched the second half with his arm in a sling. Hixon sprained his right knee.
Tuck said he expects to play this weekend, but coach Tom Coughlin was more
cautious. Jaguars Wide receiver Troy Williamson could bbe done for the season
because of a right shoulder injury.
LsaacSopoaga Jersey. Williamson may have
torn his labrum during Sundays 31-17 loss to Arizona. Coach Jack Del Rio said he
didnt have test results, but fellow receivers Mike Sims-Walker and Mike Thomas
said Monday that Williamson was out for the year. Packers Brett Favre injured?
Yep: a bent fingernail. Favres throwing hand was clearly hurting after his last
throw for Minnesota in Sundays win over Detroit. He was hit by two defenders in
the fourth quarter during a touchdown pass to Percy Harvin. Favre got up and
grimaced, glancing down at his hand and shaking it a few times before heading to
the sideline. He didnt return. Coach Brad Childress said Monday that Favre is
fine. "He bent his fingernail," Childress said. "That hurts, too. For those of
you who have fingernails, that hurts." Favre has started 271 straight regular
season games, believed to be an NFL record. He is also nine games behind Jim
Marshalls record for a non-kicker of 282 consecutive regular season games
played. Titans Tennessee punter Craig Hentrich isnt likely to punt Sunday when
the Titans visit the Jets after straining his left calf. Coach Jeff Fisher isnt
saying yet if the season is over for the 38-year-old veteran. He had to be
helped off the field against Houston. The 16-year veteran ranks seventh all-time
in the NFL with 1,150 punts. Bears DE Alex Brown was in the trainers room
instead of a hospital room a day after he sprained his left ankle -- a good sign
for the Bears. That Brown should be ready to play this week against Seattle was
positive news for a team that has already endured its share of pain this season.
"Every time a player goes down and doesnt get up and you stop the game, thats
your first thought," coach Lovie Smith said Monday. "You hope that its not
serious. When theyre on the field for a little while, of course, youre thinking
(it might be) a little bit more. Luckily, in Alexs case, we dont think it is. He
means a lot to our football team. We need him on the field." Lions Linebacker
Ernie Sims will miss some time with a "fairly significant" right shoulder
injury, coach Jim Schwartz said. Sims has made 14 tackles this season. He was
injured in Sundays loss to Minnesota. Sims has not missed a game since the Lions
drafted him three years ago. He is the only player on Detroits active roster
selected by former general manager Matt Millen between the 2002-06 NFL drafts.
Buccaneers Safety Jermaine Phillips has a broken thumb and his status for this
weeks home game against the Giants is uncertain. Bucs coach Raheem Morris said
Monday that Phillips was hurt during Sundays 33-20 loss at Buffalo. The
oft-injured Phillips is in his eighth NFL season. Since becoming a starter with
the Bucs in 2003, the only year hes appeared in every game was 2006. Falcons
First-round draft pick Peria Jerry sustained a season-ending left knee injury in
a victory over Carolina. He was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Thomas Johnson, who had not played in the NFL since 2006 until making the
Falcons roster, will move up to a starting spot. "Its very unfortunate for
Peria," coach Mike Smith said. "Its a very, very violent game on the offensive
and defensive lines. Were going to miss him, but weve go to move forward."
Panthers Defensive tackle Louis Leonard broke his left ankle on the final
defensive play at Atlanta. Hes out for several weeks, if not the season. Leonard
was acquired from Cleveland on Sept. 1 for a late-round 2010 draft pick to make
up for Maake Kemoeatus season-ending torn Achilles tendon. Packers Chad Clifton
injured his right ankle in the loss to Cincinnati, and coach Mike McCarthy didnt
have a timeline for his return. Clifton was injured on the Packers first
offensive play of the second half and had to be carted off. "Were preparing to
play without him," McCarthy said. ' ' '
