Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck Returns From Injury For Some Reason

SEATTLE—After missing five games with a bulging disc in his back, Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck returned to his 2-8 last-place team Sunday for reasons that are unknown at this time. “Well, that was pointless,” a visibly exhausted Hasselbeck said after throwing for 170 yards and three interceptions in the Seahawks’ 26-20 home loss. “I guess I thought I owed it to my teammates to go through that with them, but looking back on it, no one would wish that on another person. I mean, that game was quite possibly more painful than the extensive nerve damage in my back that kept me out. I can’t remember why I decided to suit up for this one.” When asked if he intended to play this Sunday against the Redskins, Hasselbeck responded by asking why, in God’s name, he would do that.
