Tatupu’s season finished

RENTON, Wash. – Seattle’s fourth fallen star had his season end Thursday.

A team spokesman said three-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu went on the injured reserve list while he was having surgery to repair a torn left pectoral muscle in Alabama. Tatupu traveled there to consult with noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews.

The defensive captain was injured in the first half of Seattle’s loss to Arizona on Oct. 18. He was hit high by teammate Deon Grant as both tried to make a tackle.

Wednesday, six-time All-Pro left tackle Walter Jones went on injured reserve. The 35-year-old said he will attempt to play in 2010, though no one knows if he will play again following microfracture knee surgery in December and then an arthroscopic procedure on the same left knee in August.

At least quarterback Matt Hasselbeck practiced after missing two consecutive workout days.

The ribs he broke on Sept. 20 at San Francisco still aren’t healed, but he and coach Jim Mora said the quarterback will start Sunday at Dallas.

Seattle expects to use the roster spot vacated by Tatupu to add cornerback Marcus Trufant off the physically-unable-to-perform list Saturday.
