RENTON, Wash. -- Matt Hasselbeck watched most of Wednesday's practice to rest his broken ribs, though the Seahawks expect the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback to start again Sunday against Detroit.
Seattle coach Jim Mora said Hasselbeck "was a little bit beat up, like what happens to a lot of quarterbacks in this league" after playing all of last weekend's 38-17 loss at Dallas.
He was crumpled on the turf after a hit in the third quarter but finished the game.
Seneca Wallace ran the first-team offense Wednesday. Wallace lost both games he started when Hasselbeck was out from the ribs broken Sept. 20 at San Francisco.
Doctors had estimated this to be the final week in the usual recovery time for Hasselbeck's injury, but that's under normal circumstances.

Matt has been a great quarterback for Seattle, but I think his time has gone. We all get older and can't do the things we used to.
