Shaun Alexander will not play for the Seattle Seahawks until he's healthy enough to practice full time. "We had a talk, and I told him until he can practice the whole week. Until he can have a normal week of practice, I'm not going to put him on the field," Coach Mike Holmgren said after Friday's practice that Alexander watched in sweats. "I tried to explain that running backs -- you need to be able to do what you do, and if you're worried about an injury or something is sore and you can't make your cuts, you're really open to more injury. I'm not going to put him on the field until he can do what he does. He appreciated that." Holmgren wouldn't officially say Alexander is "out" for Sunday's game against Chicago but did say that backup Maurice Morris would get his second straight start. Morris had 28 carries for 87 yards in Seattle's 24-0 win over San Francisco last Monday.
