Matt Hasselbeck will miss exhibition game

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck missed practice today with a tight back, and will not play in the exhibition game Monday at San Diego.

RENTON — Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck likely will not play in Monday's exhibition game in San Diego after he again missed practiced today because of a tight back.

Third-string quarterback Charlie Frye will start the game, coach Mike Holmgren said. Seneca Wallace, who was limited by a tight groin, will be available to play some, too, but Frye will play most of the game.

Hasselbeck's back tightened up during the team's first exhibition game in Minnesota. He sat out practice for a few days once the team returned to practice. He returned before the team's second exhibition game against Chicago, but did not play. He has not practiced since Tuesday, when he walked off the field during the morning practice after his back tightened up again.

The diagnosis?

"He has a tight back," Holmgren said. "Some of you are young, you haven't gotten there yet. You get a little tight back or you wake up funny or you tweak it or whatever you, and then you just have to let it calm down a little bit. He's much better today."
