Holmgren: Branch out, Hasselbeck OK

03:58 PM PDT on Monday, October 6, 2008

Associated Press

RENTON, Wash. - Seahawks' wide receiver Deion Branch has a bruised heel and will be out indefinitely. Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck apparently will be fine.

Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said Monday that Branch will decide when he can return based on how much pain he can tolerate in his right heel. The former Super Bowl MVP was injured in the first half of Sunday's 44-6 loss at the New York Giants. It was his first game since January following reconstructive knee surgery.

Hasselbeck hurt his right knee on the first drive Sunday while getting hit from in front and behind. He returned for the next series and played until late in the third quarter. Holmgren said an MRI showed a tweak but that Hasselbeck should be fine to play Sunday when the Green Bay Packers come to Seattle.

Holmgren also said that cornerback Kelly Jennings will undergo tests for a concussion to determine when he can play again.

Holmgren said coaches will analyze what went wrong in the 44-6 loss to the Giants as they prepare for this Sunday's home game against the Green Bay Packers.
