RENTON, Wash. (AP) -All signs are pointing toward Matt Hasselbeck returning to quarterback the reeling Seahawks on Sunday against Jacksonville. The three-time Pro Bowl passer looked sharp while completing a second consecutive practice Thursday. It's his first work since he broke a rib Sept. 20 on a goal line dive at San Francisco. Top receiver Nate Burleson says he expects Hasselbeck to be throwing to him Sunday. Burleson cites Hasselbeck dramatically increasing his repetitions with the first-team offense Thursday plus the fact he had zip on his deep throws. Seattle (1-3) has lost three straight games, with Hasselbeck missing 2 1/2 of them.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
