KIRKLAND - The plan for the Seahawks is to open Sunday's game at Green Bay with their normal starters, then replace them at coach Mike Holmgren's discretion during the game, Holmgren said today in his weekly news conference.

Injured cornerbacks Andre Dyson and Marcus Trufant will not make the trip to Green Bay.

"We are going to substitute pretty liberally in the game," Holmgren said. "How long they [starters] play, it will be a little bit of a feel thing for me."

Cornerback Kelly Herndon and defensive tackle Chuck Darby are probable to play after missing last week's game with injuries. Herndon has missed the past four games. Also, running back Shaun Alexander leaves for Cincinnati on Thursday to be at his aunt's funeral, and will join the Seahawks in Green Bay on Saturday.

Alexander will start Sunday, Holmgren said. Alexander has scored 27 touchdowns this season, tying Priest Holmes' season record.

The Seahawks have clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, and will play their first playoff game Jan. 14 or 15 at Qwest Field.
