First it was Shaun Alexander, then Matt Hasselbeck sidelined with injuries. Now, it's leading receiver Darrell Jackson. Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that Jackson will not be able to play Thursday night against San Francisco, another blow for Seattle's injury-riddled offence.

The unusual continues for the head-shaking Seattle Seahawks. The latest rarity has centre Robbie Tobeck in a Seattle-area hospital indefinitely with an abscess in his left hip _ just as fellow Pro Bowlers Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck are returning to the offence. ``Only this year,'' coach Mike Holmgren said with a smirk following Friday's practice.

Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that both of his injured stars may play Sunday at San Francisco, pending tests in practice this week. Doctors have cleared Alexander to fully practice Wednesday for the first time in eight ...

Henderson rolled into Matt Hasselbeck's right leg early in the second half of a tie game, sending the Pro Bowl quarterback to the locker room for the ...

The luck of the Rams finally ran out. Twice this season _ against Arizona and Green Bay _ St. Louis was on the verge of losing, only to be saved by late-game fumbles by opponents. It almost happened again Sunday, but Seattle's Josh Brown kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired to give Seattle an improbable 30-28 win. ``It was a great game to watch, I'm sure,'' Seattle coach ...

This is the week the St. Louis Rams get to prove their 4-1 record isn't a fluke. The oddsmakers think it is _ Seattle is a three-point favourite in St. Louis. Yes, the same Seahawks who when last seen were being pounded 37-6 by Chicago. But everyone gets pounded by the Bears. And Seattle, the defending NFC champion, had a week off to lick its wounds and work on ways ...
