Is Seahawks head coach Jim Mora surprised that Hasselbeck has been able to recover from a broken rib so quickly?

“No, I’m not surprised,” said Mora. “Matt is a very tough man, physically and mentally.”

Before getting hurt, Hasselbeck had a strong start to the 2009 NFL season. In Week 1 against the St. Louis Rams, Hasselbeck passed for 279 yards and three touchdowns as the Seahawks won by a final score of 28-0.

If Hasselbeck can’t play, Seneca Wallace will once again start at quarterback against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. After their Week 1 win, the Seahawks have lost three in a row. Week 5 could be a pivotal week for the squad to prove they are good enough to make a run at the playoffs.

Matt Hasselbeck Injury Update – Probable

QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
Matt Hasselbeck is dealing with a rib injury and it doesn’t sound like he’ll play in Week 3. Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles sounds like he’ll be missing a second straight game with a similar injury.

RB Jamal Lewis, Cleveland Browns
Going up against the Baltimore Ravens, Jamal Lewis faced a difficult challenge. However, due to injury, Lewis won’t be playing. The struggling Browns will have to look elsewhere for production.

WR Antonio Bryant, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last week, Antonio Bryant missed the game for the Bucs thanks to a knee bone bruise. This week, he’s listed as questionable. If you listen to the coaches, Bryant could play. That said, Bryant himself doesn’t sound as optimistic.

TE Desmond Clark, Chicago Bears
Yet another player with a rib injury is Desmond Clark of the Chicago Bears. He’s listed as doubtful and you can expect to see him on the sidelines during Week 3 of the 2009 NFL season.

NFL Injury Updates for Week 3

EAS Myoplex Strength Formula Shake

Fitness enthusiasts have something new they can use to help meet their nutrition needs—EAS Myoplex Strength Formula shake. What’s different? EAS Myoplex Strength Formula shake is the first Myoplex shake available in a 14 fluid ounce, reclosable plastic bottle, helping to provide more convenience and availability to athletes. Taken within 30 minutes after working out, the 25 grams of high-quality protein, carbohydrate and 23 vitamins and minerals in EAS Myoplex Strength Formula shakes provide the nutrients that athletes can trust to refuel and rebuild lean muscle.

I’ve been drinking Myoplex shakes for over ten years, but the new EAS Myoplex Strength Formula shake is creamier and better tasting than ever with flavors like Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Cream, Strawberry Cream and Banana Cream. My favorite? Strawberry (but Chocolate is a close second). The four packs are a bit pricey even at WalMart, but for a convenient and healthy snack on-the-go, you can’t beat the quality nutrition in a Myoplex shake.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle

Hasselbeck was a Boston College player, originally drafted during the 6th round by the Green Bay Packers. BC was in a bit of a rebuilding stage at this time, with new coach Tom O’Brien at the helm. Hasselbeck’s junior and senior year, the team ended with losing records of 4-7, and Hasselbeck didn’t play much, as other quarterbacks took their places on the field. You know what, Hasselbeck? I’m sorry I brought up this time in your life. It won’t happen again…
