RENTON, Wash. - The Seahawks are planning to be without quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and best blocker Walter Jones again on Sunday.

Coach Jim Mora said Wednesday he does not expect his three-time Pro Bowl passer or his nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle to play at the undefeated Indianapolis Colts.

The 34-year-old Hasselbeck, who broke a rib 10 days ago, still can't run and still has pain when he takes a deep breath.

Mora says he doesn't know for sure if Jones will play at all this season. The team will back off pushing the 35-year-old Jones through practice this week. Jones had his second knee surgery in nine months in August.

Seattle (1-2) does expect to have linebacker Lofa Tatupu back from a hamstring injury against the Colts.
