After seeing running back Julius Jones complete all week of practice, the Seattle Seahawks Coach Jim Mora confidently declared Friday that Jones was ready to to wear back his Seahawks jersey and start this Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Mora said Jones has recovered from the bruised lung that kept him out of the last 2½ games and had him coughing up blood Nov. 15 at Arizona, but now "He's good to go." Mora had said earlier this week that Jones would remain the starting running back when he was cleared to play, even though Jones backup Justin Forsett had two 100-year games in the three weeks while Jones was absent.
Forsett may not mind as he was injured during Friday’s practice and is questionable for Sunday’s game. He has told trainers that his leg was bothering him Friday only as a precaution and still keeps playing the game as the primary plan.

Frye thus became the third left tackle the Seahawks lost for injury, following Walter Jones and Sean Locklear. The team will have to turn to Kyle Williams, who was just signed off the practice squad and put on No. 78 Seahawks jersey and played through a sprained knee in finish Sunday’s game after Frye went down.
The Seahawks’ another move on Tuesday was t sign offensive tackle Damion Mclintosh, who started 16 games last season for Kansas City Chiefs but was cut by the Chiefs before the season started.

Seahawks QB Hasselbeck felt fine with his rib
The Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck went down for several minutes with 26 seconds left before halftime when linebacker 49ers Patrick Willis stuck him in the back. He had to be taken away immediately from Willis and sent to hospital for X-rays and a CT scan.
The fans could ease off for the X-rays were negative while the CT scan was inconclusive and Hasselbeck was able to rejoin his teammates for the 2-hour flight home shortly after the 23-10 loss to the 49ers.
“It is a rib bruise at this point,” Seattle Coach Jim Mora said. “He’s doing much better … he’s feeling much more comfortable. We believe at this point, and it’s very preliminary, that he’s going to be OK.”
Hasselbeck gave fans more confidence by posing on his Twitter page, saying the same as Mora told reporters. No one had given a estimated time of when he would wear back his seahawks jersey and be back with the team.
