NFL notes
Hasselbeck turns in a full practice
RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has fully participated in practice a day after sitting out to give his broken ribs a rest.
Hasselbeck said after practice that he feels similar to how he felt at this point a week ago. The Seahawks host Detroit on Sunday.
Seneca Wallace ran the first-team offense Wednesday, but it was Hasselbeck leading the charge yesterday.
Lions' Smith back from shoulder injury
ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions running back Kevin Smith practiced after sitting out the previous day with a shoulder injury.
He worked with the first-team offense, but coach Jim Schwartz didn't indicate whether Smith would be available for Sunday's game at Seattle.
Wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who has missed Detroit's past two games with a right knee injury, also took snaps with the first-team offense.
Clark isn't talking as Denver trip nears
PITTSBURGH -- Ryan Clark may be saying everything he needs to say with his growing silence.
The Pittsburgh Steelers safety is usually one of the team's most talkative players, but he is saying little as it becomes increasingly likely he won't play Monday in Denver due to a rare blood condition that nearly caused him to die after playing there two years ago.
Nearly all of Clark's teammates are urging him to skip the game.
Revolving door spins for Redskins' punters
ASHBURN -- The Washington Redskins will use their fourth punter this season when they play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Hunter Smith's right groin injury is acting up again, so the Redskins plan to sign former Dallas punter Sam Paulescu yesterday.
Smith pulled the groin in his kicking leg during the Oct. 4 game vs. Tampa Bay. Kicker Shaun Suisham punted for the rest of that game, then Glenn Pakulak was signed to handle the next two games.
