Seattle, WA (My Sportsbook) - Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears due to a fractured rib suffered last week against San Francisco. Hasselbeck did not participate in practice this week, and Seneca Wallace started under center in Seattle. Wallace was serviceable in the absence of usual starter, throwing for 261 yards with a touchdown and an interception on 26-of-44 passes in the 25-19 setback. Hasselbeck, 33, is coming off an injury-riddled season in 2008 in which he played just seven games. In the first two games of 2009, in which the Seahawks went 1-1, Hasselbeck had 376 yards passing and three touchdowns. Also among Sunday's inactives was linebacker Lofa Tatupu, who is battling a hamstring injury. Tatupu played in the first two games of the season, registering five tackles and a sack. Linebacker LeRoy Hill (groin), offensive tackle Sean Locklear (ankle) and cornerback Josh Wilson (ankle) had been previously ruled out of the game. Offensive tackle Walter Jones (knee), who was questionable, was also out.
