NFL: Mora: Don’t expect QB Hasselbeck or OT Jones on Sunday
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seahawks are planning to be without quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and best blocker Walter Jones again on Sunday.
Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday he does not expect his three-time Pro Bowl passer or his nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle to play at the undefeated Indianapolis Colts.
The 34-year-old Hasselbeck, who broke a rib 10 days ago, still can’t run and still has pain when he takes a deep breath.
Mora says he doesn’t know for sure if Jones will play at all this season. The team will back off pushing the 35-year-old Jones through practice this week. Jones had his second knee surgery in nine months in August.
Seattle (1-2) does expect to have linebacker Lofa Tatupu back from a hamstring injury against the Colts.
