Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck will be good to go Saturday when his Seahawks play the Packers in Green Bay in an NFC divisional playoff game. Hasselbeck suffered a bruised thigh when Fred Smoot's helmet speared him last Saturday in Seattle's 35-14 win over Washington.

Commentary: This is just the latest injury for Hasselbeck, who has so far overcome bruised ribs, a strained side muscle, a strained quadriceps and a sore throwing wrist to put together one of his best seasons. Nothing will keep Hasselbeck from returning to the place where he started his career and playing to redeem himself from the game-ending interception in an overtime playoff game in Green Bay four years ago.

Fantasy Football Impact: Hasselbeck will have to carry the Seattle offense again, so start him if you have him in a fantasy playoff format.
