Hasselbeck (back/ribs) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Kevin Bowen of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, coach Chuck Pagano left little doubt Friday that Hasselbeck will tough it out and start at QB for the Colts on Sunday, noting that the veteran signal-caller "had an excellent day (Thursday). He's going to play really, really good." With Andrew Luck not an option for Week 15, Charlie Whitehurst is slated to back up Hasselbeck on Sunday, with the Colts and Texans both currently at 6-7 and atop the AFC South standings.
