The Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck went down for several minutes with 26 seconds left before halftime when linebacker 49ers Patrick Willis stuck him in the back. He had to be taken away immediately from Willis and sent to hospital for X-rays and a CT scan.
The fans could ease off for the X-rays were negative while the CT scan was inconclusive and Hasselbeck was able to rejoin his teammates for the 2-hour flight home shortly after the 23-10 loss to the 49ers.
“It is a rib bruise at this point,” Seattle Coach Jim Mora said. “He’s doing much better … he’s feeling much more comfortable. We believe at this point, and it’s very preliminary, that he’s going to be OK.”
Hasselbeck gave fans more confidence by posing on his Twitter page, saying the same as Mora told reporters. No one had given a estimated time of when he would wear back his seahawks jersey and be back with the team.

Singletary does not consider QB the most important focus for 49ers
As people are focusing on the ongoing quarterback competition in the 49ers, coach Mike Singletary considers QB not the most important focus for 49ers.
Singletary will name a a starter between Shaun Hill and Alex Smith after the team’s third preseason game. He expressed confidence that one of the two QBs will step up as the starter. No plan to choose from other players wearing steelers jerseys.
“I believe … at the right time, one of those guys will be the guy that will take us where we need to go,” Singletary said. “But those other things have to happen in training camp. For me, quarterback is not the most important focus.”
“Whether Shaun is the quarterback or Alex is the quarterback, our offensive line has to get better, the receivers have to get better, the defense has to get better, the coaches have to get better,” he said. “All those things have to get better. We have to get to that place in a hurry. The quarterback will evolve. It will jump out.”
Singletary is in his first full season as an NFL head coach, and he considers that the development of the entire team preferential to quarterback competition.
