Hawks' Hasselbeck Ready To Go Despite Thigh Injury
8th January, 2008 - 9:23 am
ESPN - Mike Holmgren walked into the Seahawks' training room and saw Matt Hasselbeck. Barely.

The coach joked that his quarterback was so obscured Monday by treatment machines, all he could manage was a wave of his arm and a shout of assurance that he and his latest ailment -- a bruised thigh -- were fine for Saturday's NFC divisional playoff game at Green Bay.

"I don't even like to go in the training room anymore," Holmgren said, grinning about Hasselbeck's latest pains in a season full of them. "He's in this thing that you would swear -- well, it's the best thing you could be in probably -- it's covered in air, everything. I didn't even know it was him."

"His arm came out and, 'I'm going to be OK. Don't worry.'"

Hasselbeck's latest spot of pain is his right thigh though it is not expected to keep him from practicing Tuesday. His thigh got hit hard by the helmet of Washington's Fred Smoot during a knifing tackle in the open field on a 1-yard scramble 10 minutes into the third quarter of Saturday's 35-14 win over the Redskins in the wild-card game.
