RENTON — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck did not finish Tuesday’s morning practice because of tightness in his back.

The veteran quarterback left the field about an hour into the session and did not return. Charlie Frye took almost all the snaps at quarterback, while rookie Dalton Bell saw a few repetitions. Seneca Wallace has been limited by a groin injury.

Hasselbeck did not play in Saturday’s preseason game because of back soreness. He returned to practice on Monday and pronounced himself pain-free.
