Little help? Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck is fine, as long as someone can tie his shoes
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who injured his wrist in Seattle's victory over Arizona, needed help tying his shoes before practice Wednesday. But coach Pete Carroll says Hasselbeck shouldn't be limited when the Seahawks play at New Orleans on Sunday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
RENTON — "OK, so who wants to tie my shoes?" Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck asked.
The question was hilarious. It just wasn't a joke. At least not entirely.
Hasselbeck suffered an injury to his left wrist in Seattle's win at Arizona on Sunday, and while it didn't keep him from returning to the game, it did make a couple of other things more problematic. Like using a touch-screen cellphone efficiently. Or tying his cleats before Wednesday's practice.
So how will the injury impact Hasselbeck?
"We're going to learn as we go a little bit what's best for him," coach Pete Carroll said. "We're going to do some things to try to ensure him not banging his wrist. So we already have a plan for it. We'll see how it works out (Wednesday), and then we're going to kind of go as we go here and figure it out. He's all geared up for it and ready to do a bunch of work."
So what does the injury prevent Hasselbeck from doing?
"We'll find out," Carroll said. "I don't know that. Right now, I don't know that. We don't think anything. Our plan is that we can do whatever we want to do. We'll find out during the week. And I'll let you know. On Monday."
That would be the day after Seattle's game at New Orleans.
For the record, J.P. Losman — Seattle's No. 3 quarterback — is the one who ended up tying Hasselbeck's shoes before the team took the field for practice.
