Matt Hasselbeck Has Broken Bone In Left Wrist

When Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck left the game in the second quarter, it was apparent something was wrong with his left hand. After failing to pick up a first down on a quarterback sneak, Hasselbeck left the game and immediately headed to the bench to get checked. A trip to the locker room for X-rays followed shortly thereafter and Hasselbeck stayed in the locker room for the first series of the second half.

The problem, reporters were told after the game, was his left wrist. Hasselbeck re-entered the game and finished it out, throwing for over 300 yards in the process. He did so with a heavily taped non-throwing hand. Hasselbeck suffered a broken bone in his wrist, but head coach Pete Carroll said it "looks to be manageable."

After enduring a few series of the Charlie Whitehurst Experience (tm) this week after a depressing showing last week, the health of Hasselbeck is paramount for this team. If he's able to play through pain and not further aggravate the injury, he should be good to go next week against the New Orleans Saints.

Matt Hasselbeck Injures Finger, Probable To Return

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck injured his left thumb shortly before halftime while attempting a QB sneak on fourth down. Hasselbeck, who failed to convert, came out of the game holding the thumb on his non-throwing hand, leaving the field for x-rays before the half. He did not return from the locker room after the half, apparently still undergoing tests.

The Fox broadcast team mention Hasselbeck was still being checked out and that his return is probable. While he’s out, backup Charlie Whitehurst is at the helm for Seattle. After a shaky start last week, his struggles continued early in the second half today at Arizona. Whitehurst, after driving deep into Arizona territory, made a terrible decision, throwing an easy interception and killing the promising drive. Without Hasselbeck, and his hot hand, the Seahawks appear to be in some serious trouble.

Beanie Wells Inactive For Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals' running back Beanie Wells is inactive for today's game and will not play against the Seattle Seahawks. Wells has been dealing with a knee injury and experienced swelling attributed to an allergic reaction earlier this week. It was another setback for Wells, who has still been unable to get up to full speed following arthroscopic surgery on his repaired knee.

Adam Schefter reported the news on Twitter just hours before today's 1:15 p.m. kickoff.

Adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly. Without Wells, Tim Hightower will carry the load for the Cardinals against a Seahawks' front seven that's been decimated by injuries recently. Defensive tackle Brandon Mebane should be back in action today, giving the Seahawks a boost, but the line is still patchwork in many ways.

The Cardinals and Seahawks kick it off at 1:15 p.m. on Fox.

NFL Injuries, Week 10: Seattle Seahawks Friday Injury Report

We’re at the time of the week where players begin to get ruled out for the weekend’s game. Two Seattle Seahawks players were officially listed as out today and will not travel to Arizona for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Golden Tate (ankle) and defensive tackle Colin Cole (ankle) will not play.

In the doubtful department, offensive lineman Mike Gibson (ankle) and fullback Michael Robinson (hamstring) are both looking like long-shots. Rookie left tackle Russell Okung is listed as questionable, though head coach Pete Carroll said he’s getting closer. It appears Okung only has an outside chance at playing this weekend.

Lofa Tatupu and Marshawn Lynch returned to practice and are both probable for Sunday. Joining them, Raheem Brock, Mike Williams, Chris Baker and Brandon Stokley. All appear likely to play against the Cardinals.

The Seahawks travel to Arizona to take-on the Cardinals this Sunday at 1:15 p.m.

NFL Injuries, Week 10: Arizona Cardinals Wednesday Injury Report

The Arizona Cardinals are off the field after finishing up practice today. Running back Beanie Wells continues to deal with swelling in his knee, a concern for both the present and future. ESPN’s Mike Sando said the Cardinals attributed the swelling to an allergic reaction to medication prescribed following arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee. If he’s unable to go, Tim Hightower will shoulder the load in the Cardinals’ backfield instead of splitting time with Wells.

Outside of the situation in the backfield, the Cardinals’ injury list was relatively short. Darnell Dockett and Joey Porter both were both limited in practice, using the day to rest. Neither is a concern for this weekend’s game. Linebacker Clark Haggins may return to action this week after missing the previous two games with a groin injury. He did not, however, practice today.

Kerry Rhodes and Will Davis were also limited in practice, though neither is expected to miss this weekend’s game, and Paris Lenon was a non-participant.

The Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday at 1:15 p.m. on Fox.
