Hasselbeck Skipping Practice, Will Play Sunday

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck won’t practice much this week, but is expected to play Sunday in St. Louis.  Head coach Mike Holmgren said Hasselbeck was so sore Monday morning he had ice all over his body in the training room.  Holmgren says Matt will sit out practice most of the week and hopefully get some throws in at the end of the week.  Holmgren said he was going to wait and see if injured running back Shaun Alexander will be ready to play Sunday.  Alexander has asked doctors to remove the cast on his left wrist, but they say he can’t go without out it and they’ll try to make it smaller this week.
