Seattle Seahawks coach Jim Mora said Wednesday morning that quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will try to practice even though he's still experiencing pain from the rib injury that has sidelined him for two games.
Mora said he saw Hasselbeck experiencing a lot of pain on Monday, but some of it had eased on Tuesday. The plan is for Hasselbeck to warm up and see how long and how much he will be able to do during Wednesday's practice.
Meanwhile, Pro Bowl left tackle Walter Jones will not return until at least November, if at all this season. Mora said the team has decided Jones will back off trying to return from two knee surgeries.
The 35-year-old anchor to Seattle's offensive line for the last decade will now be reassessed after the bye week, before a game at Dallas on Nov. 1.
Dallas was the site of Jones' last game, Thanksgiving Day. He played with painkilling injections in his left knee, then had major, microfracture surgery to regenerate cartilage.
After a few practices in training camp, he had arthroscopic surgery on the knee in August.
Defensive end Patrick Kerney is making progress trying to recover from a groin injury suffered Sunday in Indianapolis. He isn't expected to practice Wednesday.
