Hasselbeck (back/ribs) participated in Thursday's practice, Kevin Bowen of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bowen further relays that Hasselbeck "says he showed the coaches (Thursday) in practice what he has to offer," while suggesting beyond that, who starts at QB for the Colts on Sunday against the Texans is a decision that remains in hands of the team's coaching staff. At this stage, it appears as though Hasselbeck starting the contest is hardly a lock and in the even that he does not draw the assignment, Charlie Whitehurst would get the nod, given that Andrew Luck is not an option for Week 15.
