RENTON, Wash. —

Matt Hasselbeck has returned to Seahawks practice for the second time since injuring his back nearly a month ago.

The Pro Bowl quarterback will start Sunday in Buffalo and he says he will likely be rusty. He's played just two series of a preseason game since last January's playoff loss at Green Bay.

Hasselbeck revealed his back was in pain and spasms for weeks following a practice incident days before the first preseason game Aug. 8 at Minnesota. He said Monday he isn't anxious over how he will feel getting hit Sunday for the first time in almost nine months. He says that's an all-too-familiar feeling.

Hasselbeck made his third Pro Bowl last season while setting Seattle records for completions (352), attempts (562) and yards passing (3,966).
