RENTON, Wash. — Matt Hasselbeck has gone from excruciating pain to probable in four days.Seahawks coach Jim Mora said after Hasselbeck completed his third consecutive practice Friday that he expects his three-time Pro Bowl passer to start Sunday against Jacksonville.It will be his first game since he broke a rib on a dive for the goal line Sept. 20 at San Francisco."Matt got better every day.
