Despite being besieged by injuries that have prevented the Seattle Seahawks from truly getting into regular-season form, the team still should be considered the favorite to win the NFC West for a fifth consecutive season. It's not necessarily that the Seahawks in their current form are that good; it's that the rest of the division is that bad. While the Seahawks continue to chug along in what is M...

The Seattle Seahawks finally have some good injury news.

Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck likely will miss Seattle's preseason game Monday at San Diego and probably won't see any action until the regular season because of ongoing back stiffness. Coach Mike Holmgren all but ruled his Pro Bowl quarterback out of his second consecutive preseason game. With the exhibition finale just three days later against Oakland, Hasselbeck remains unlikely to play....

The union made great gains under Gene Upshaw, yet so much more could have been accomplished.

The Seattle Seahawks took a long look at Charlie Frye at quarterback Saturday night. Long, as in the entire game.

The only bad move Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant has made recently was charging at burly teammate T.J. Duckett in practice. The powerful Duckett outweighs Trufant by more than 50 pounds. He dropped his shoulders after a catch and hit the cornerback, causing Trufant's contact lens to be popped out of his left eye, through his facemask and onto the practice field.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Bobby Engram will miss six to eight weeks with a cracked bone in his right shoulder sustained on the first play of Friday's preseason game against Minnesota, adding to the injuries on offense for the defending four-time NFC West champions.

Matt Hasselbeck and the Seattle Seahawks had no problem with Minnesota's upgraded defense. Hasselbeck was 7-of-8 for 70 yards and a touchdown and the Seahawks racked up 187 total yards in three series against the Vikings' defensive starters in a 34-17 preseason victory on Friday night. Maurice Morris got the start at running back ahead of Julius Jones and rushed for 62 yards on six carries in the....

Tarvaris Jackson has heard the questions all summer long and all throughout training camp. Are you ready to lead the Minnesota Vikings to the playoffs?

The last day of Chris Gray's unsung career was the first day he got star treatment.

Mike Holmgren said what about 10,000 fans had just seen. "This was a little different scrimmage than we've had in the past," Holmgren said Saturday, after his 10th and final training camp scrimmage as Seahawks coach. It's already been a little different kind of summer for Seattle. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck was in for three plays Saturday and then watched the only full-scale scrimmage before...

Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon said clinical evaluations following two arrests for drunken driving have shown he does not have a problem with alcohol.

Samuel Gutekunst is half a world away from home and his long-distance -- really long-distance -- girlfriend of the last three years. The native of Karlsruhe, Germany, hasn't been getting in scrimmages during Seahawks training camp. He won't be in any regular-season games. Yet for him, this is sagenhaft -- fabulous.

Finding himself stuck in a crowd is nothing new to T.J. Duckett. It happened in Atlanta. And in Washington. And Detroit, too. Guess what? Nothing has changed now that Duckett's in Seattle. He's again stuck in a group of running backs, each trying to stand out and earn time on the field. "You always want the ball in your hands, but at the end of the day it comes down to victories," Duckett said.

John Carlson and the Seattle Seahawks agreed to terms of a multiyear contract Saturday, putting the rookie tight on the practice field for the second day of training camp. Seattle traded up in April to take Carlson in the second round out of Notre Dame. The Seahawks expect him to start this season. Coach Mike Holmgren said during the first day of camp on Friday that it was important for Carlson ge...

Lawrence Jackson needed a new truck. His was 12-years old, broken down. The window wouldn't go up. The seat belt didn't work. Now he's got a new ride. Jackson, the speedy defensive end and first-round pick of the Seahawks out of Southern California, signed just minutes before Seattle's first practice of training camp Friday morning.

The Seattle Seahawks signed four players on Friday, including defensive end Lawrence Jackson, the club's first-round pick.
