Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
RENTON, Wash., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will miss at least one more week due to a bulging disc in his back that is affecting his sore knee.
Seattle Coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that Hasselbeck will miss next Sunday night's game at Tampa Bay.
Hasselbeck saw a specialist in Los Angeles, who found that the disk problem in his back was causing the weakness in the quarterback's right knee. Hasselbeck hyperextended the knee in the Seahawks' loss to the New York Giants on Oct. 5.
"I'm a little bit hesitant to characterize the pain," said Holmgren. "I think it's creating a weakness in his leg more than pain. I think that's what's preventing him from playing."
Charlie Frye started for Seattle this past week in a 27-17 loss to Green Bay, his first start since Week 1 of 2007 with the Cleveland Browns. Frye completed only 12-of-23 passes for 83 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
