Hasselbeck thought to have rib bruise

Sep 20, 2009

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was taken to a hospital for X-rays and a CT scan after injuring his ribs on a hard hit late in the second quarter against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

The X-rays were negative while the CT scan was inconclusive, according to Seattle coach Jim Mora, and Hasselbeck rejoined his teammates for the two-hour flight home shortly after the 23-10 loss to the 49ers.

"It is a rib bruise at this point," Mora said. "He's doing much better ... he's feeling much more comfortable. We believe at this point, and it's very preliminary, that he's going to be OK."

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.

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.
