NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

On Thursday, Titans head coach Mike Munchak announced Matt Hasselbeck will start as quarterback in Saturday's preseason opener against Seattle.

Hasselbeck is expected to play about 12 to 15 snaps, while Jake Locker plays the rest of the first half.

Earlier this week, Munchak told reporters the person who starts Saturday means nothing as far as who will be named the starter for the regular season

Hasselbeck played 10 seasons for the Seahawks.
