Associated Press reports Seattle Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander (knee) had his knee wrapped after the team's game Sunday, Sept. 12. Alexander said he was still sore, but noted doctors told him his knee was all right. "Nothing hurt worse than when the doctors were tugging at it and all," Alexander said. "But I'm assuming I'm going to be all right." Head coach Mike Holmgren also said he thought Alexander's knee injury was minor.
