Seahawks Notebook: Hawks blanket less fortunate with 1,000 pounds of care

Despite the rash of injuries that have played into the Seahawks being 6-4, they still have a lot to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day.

After practice, coach Mike Holmgren and his wife, Kathy, will make their annual pilgrimage to the Salvation Army in Seattle to serve meals.

"I always get more out of that than the folks that I see down there," Holmgren said Wednesday. "It's a special time for our family down there."

This year, the Seahawks are passing out blankets to those who go to the soup kitchen for a turkey dinner.

"That's probably the best thing we could give those folks," Holmgren said.

Tuesday, All-Pro running back Shaun Alexander distributed 1,000 pounds of food through his foundation to the food banks in Tacoma.

"It was awesome," Alexander said. "A thousand pounds of food is crazy, and it is the most we have ever done."

INJURY REPORT: Center Robbie Tobeck (sore hip), right tackle Sean Locklear (sprained ankle) and defensive tackle Rocky Bernard (sore foot) did not practice and are listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers at Qwest Field.

Holmgren said the status of each would be a game-day decision. Tobeck has missed the past two games because of the flu. Now it's a hip problem.

"It's one of those seasons where things happen and there's no real great explanation for it," Holmgren said.

Wide receiver Bobby Engram practiced, but whether he plays this week remains tied to the medication he is taking for a thyroid condition that has sidelined him for the past six games.

"The stamina is his issue," Holmgren said. "It's a little bit of a Catch-22. He needs the medication to get his numbers in line, but the medication makes him sluggish."

FAVRE UPDATE: Packers quarterback Brett Favre ran some plays in practice, but did not participate in team drills because he hasn't fully regained the feeling in two fingers in his throwing hand after injuring a nerve in his right elbow Sunday.

"It's kind of an odd deal," said Favre, who has started 251 consecutive games. "But once again, at this point, I feel confident I'll be OK."

Favre is one of seven players listed as questionable by the Packers, who also list three players as doubtful -- linebacker Nick Barnett (broken hand), right tackle Mark Tauscher (strained groin) and backup cornerback Will Blackmon (bruised ribs).

BCS MESS: As he sits in front of his locker wearing a USC cap, there's no need to ask if middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu has more than just a passing interest in which team plays Ohio State for the national championship.

Q: So I would assume you're against an Ohio State-Michigan rematch?

A: "Are you kidding?" the former Trojan harrumphed. "Who wants to see that pillow fight?"

HAWK TALK: Running back Marquis Weeks was released and re-signed to the practice squad so defensive end Robert Pollard could be signed off the practice squad. ...

Not surprisingly, 49ers running back Frank Gore was named NFC offensive player of the week for his 212-yard rushing performance against the Seahawks. He is the third player to earn a weekly award for his efforts against the Seahawks, joining Chiefs running back Larry Johnson and Bears defensive tackle Tommie Harris.
