The Facts:
Hackett, third on the team with 45 receptions in the regular season, sprained his right ankle against the Cowboys, on top of a hip injury suffered in the season finale at Tampa Bay. Mike Holmgren didn't think Hackett would play last week, so the coach wouldn't rule out Hackett against the Bears. "I've got to see something during the week for him to be ready," the coach said.

In a
blog entry posted Wednesday, Tacoma News Tribune staffer Mike Sando wrote the following: "I re-watched the play in which Hackett rolled his ankle. Ouch! It was one of those quick, basketball-style ankle rolls where you just know the guy is going to look like he's got a tennis ball stuffed in his sock along the outside of the ankle. The swelling on those can be grotesque. ..." Doesn't sound promising, but we'll continue to monitor Hackett's status and update as developments warrant.
