The Seahawks are off this weekend, which is good news for quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and his injured pectoral muscle.

Whether he’ll play next Sunday, when Seattle travels to Cleveland, still isn’t known.

Per a source with knowledge of situation, the team continues to monitor the injury on a daily basis, with no decisions made yet as to whether he’ll miss any playing time. As Week Seven approaches, the Seahawks will know more about whether Jackson can practice and, ultimately, play.

If Jackson can’t play, the Seahawks will turn to Charlie Whitehurst. But the Seahawks remain firmly behind Jackson as their starter, even though some would argue that Whitehurst is as good, if not better.
