The good news continues on the injury front for Seattle. Matt Hasselbeck apparently was cleared by back Specialist Dr. Stan Herring of Seattle Thursday night and went through 7-on-7 drills with the scout team today.
Hasselbeck also threw some pass routes to receivers Michael Bumpus and Courtney Taylor after practice, cycling through both three-step and seven-step drops. His footwork seemed OK and he threw the ball with authority, although he did grab his back a few times after making throws, and still looks it will be awhile before he's ready to go.
You knew this question would continue to persist once Mo Morris returned from his injured knee. Coach Mike Holmgren’s plan all along was to use both Morris and Julius Jones, giving them about the same amount of carries.
But when you look at the stats, you can’t help but wonder what Jones could do if he got the rock more. Frank Hughes breaks down the ball distribution between the two running backs in today’s story. Here’s a quick look.
