Hasselbeck unlikely to start
The odds that the Bears will face Seattle Seahawks backup quarterback Seneca Wallace this weekend increased after the NFL's injury reports were announced Friday afternoon.
Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was listed as "doubtful" because of a rib injury that he sustained last week against the San Francisco 49ers. Hasselbeck did not practice at all this week, and similar injuries have forced Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and Bears tight end Desmond Clark to miss at least one game this season.
Meanwhile, Bears defensive end Alex Brown practiced Friday and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle. A sprained left ankle forced Brown to leave the Bears game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday at Halas Hall.
Here is a look at the full injury reports for the Bears and Seahawks.

OUT-LB Pisa Tinoisamoa (knee)
