Hasselbeck suffers injury versus 49ers

Sep 20, 2009

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was taken to the locker room with a rib injury after taking a hard hit late in the second quarter against the 49ers.

The Seahawks had a 2nd-and-goal at the San Fran four-yard line when Hasselbeck scrambled to the right and dove for the end zone. As Hasselbeck fell short of the goalline, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis struck him in the back with 26 seconds left until half.

Hasselbeck remained on the ground for several minutes as the trainers attended to him. Hasselbeck showed obvious signs of pain as he made his way to the locker room under his own power.

Backup quarterback Seneca Wallace came into the game and threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Julius Jones on the next play. Wallace took over the QB duties in the second half, as Hasselbeck remained in the locker room.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
