SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said Thursday he doesn’t expect to play in the team’s preseason game Saturday against the Chicago Bears.

“I have a feeling based on (practice) reps,” Hasselbeck said, “but I haven’t been told anything.”

Hasselbeck returned to practice Thursday morning after missing the previous four days with a sore back. He did not take part in the afternoon session.

Coach Mike Holmgren would not say whether Hasselbeck will play in Saturday’s preseason game at Qwest Field.
