Maybe not as bad as it seems?

Yes, we have lots of injuries and Locklear, Hill, and Wilson are going to be out for a while. But outside of that most guys are probably back either this week or next week.

LT Sean Locklear: Out, with a high ankle sprain. He’ll be replaced by Walter Jones or Brandon Frye.

CB Josh Wilson: Out, with a high ankle sprain. He’ll be replaced by Kelly Jennings.

QB Matt Hasselbeck: Mora is not ruling out that he could play Sunday against the Bears, even if he can’t practice all week because of a fractured rib.

LT Walter Jones: He will practice today, and share reps with Brandon Frye, who filled in against the 49ers after Locklear went out.

C Chris Spencer: He’ll also practice, and also share reps – with Steve Vallos.

WR Deion Branch: He will practice and, if all goes well, play against the Bears.

WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh: He won’t practice today to rest his sore back, but he is expected to play Sunday.

FB Justin Griffith: He won’t practice today because of his sprained knee, but should be able to play.

LB Leroy Hill: He had surgery Friday on his torn groin and remains on schedule to return Nov. 1.

MLB Lofa Tatupu: Mora isn’t sure that he will play because the team does not want to risk increasing the damage to his strained hamstring.

DT Brandon Mebane: He won’t practice today, but is feeling better after sitting out the 49ers game with a strained calf.

CB Travis Fisher: He is back and could take over as the nickel back.

Even if Hasselbeck doesn't practice, Mora said he can still start. I'd list him as a game-time decision since it won't be decided until the end of the week or even before the game. Of course Hasselbeck will say he can play, but the training staff has to clear him first.

Good to have Walt back on the feild. Early reports sounded positive.

They will probably target his ribs. They know if they get him out of the equation they have a good chance of winning.

^^^true and even if they dont "target" them...no matter where you get hit once your upper body tenses up for the blow that rib is gonna feel the pain...let alone him landing on it

Exactly. He has to go the whole game without getting tackled, sacked or hit, which is pretty hard to do.

Id bet 1,000 dollars Matt doesn't play, i don't even think hell play the next week either. I rarely see guys play with rib injuries

naw man..he has had worse...he said himself he will play

Well it's not really his call... He has to be cleared and he hasn't practiced this week.
