Tatupu has bone bruise in right knee, will be OK for opener

Wallace caught two passes during the 2007 regular season and one each in the playoffs at the end of the '05 and '06 seasons. He believes his receiving and maybe even kick returning roles will be increasing because Frye has proven capable of running the offense while playing almost all of the past two exhibition games.

"I'm excited about it," said Wallace, Hasselbeck's understudy for four seasons.

Also Wednesday, Seattle brought back 15-year veteran free agent long snapper Jeff Robinson, the last of three snappers the team used for kicks last season. Just like he was last December, the 38-year-old Robinson was home in Seattle with his wife, caring for 16-month-old daughter May Louise and working at the couple's health-and-wellness business when the Seahawks called Tuesday.

No training camp. No living in college dorms with teammates. Just sign, play one preseason game and snap in the regular season for the four-time defending NFC West champions.

"What a gig he's got," Holmgren said, chuckling.

Robinson replaces Tim Lindsey on the roster and has the job thought to be rookie sixth-round draft pick Tyler Schmitt's. Schmitt, the first player listed as a snapper ever drafted by Seattle, is on injured reserve with a back injury Holmgren termed severe - and one that wasn't detected in pre-draft medical evaluations.

"We wouldn't have done it had we known," the 60-year-old Holmgren said of drafting Schmitt. "I mean, it's pretty bad. He's a young man, and he's got a back like mine."
