(Sports Network) - Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who has missed the last two games because of a broken rib, was limited during Wednesday's practice.

Hasselbeck suffered the injury against San Francisco on September 20. Seneca Wallace has started the previous two games, both Seattle defeats - vs. Chicago and at Indianapolis.

"It felt okay, probably better than I expected. I don't know how it looked, but it was manageable today," Hasselbeck said of his rib.

Seattle head coach Jim Mora hopes to have Hasselbeck back under center Sunday when the team takes on the Jaguars.

"The guy is just, without question, doing everything possible to get out on the football field. That's what you'd expect from him, but to see him every day, and kind of the ups and downs of pushing through the injury and his willingness to really do what it takes at any level to get out on the field has really garnered a lot of respect around here -- from me, the coaches, and his players certainly," Mora said.

Linebacker Lofa Tatupu (hamstring) and running back Justin Griffith also were limited in Wednesday's practice. Defensive end Patrick Kerney (groin) did not practice.

Linebacker LeRoy Hill (groin), tackles Walter Jones (knee) and Sean Locklear (ankle) and guard Rob Sims (ankle) have all been ruled out of Sunday's tilt.
