Here's a couple reports from DraftCandy - appears the most current one has him sitting this week:

Seahawks: ALEXANDER STILL HOPES TO PLAY
News: Seattle Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander hopes to play Sunday, after all. The NFL's reigning most valuable player is crediting the power of prayer for possibly healing the cracked bone in his left foot. The foot stopped hurting Tuesday and Alexander began alerting friends and family that he hoped to play against the Chicago Bears. Alexander's brother, Durran, confirmed the news this morning and said his famous brother plans to undergo additional tests today. Coach Mike Holmgren previously said Alexander might miss a few weeks. The team's all-time leading rusher would have to receive medical clearance from the team to play.
View: This wouldn't be a good move by the organization if they actually cleared him. Not to mention is would throw in a wrench for fantasy owners and those planning to start Maurice Morris. We're leaning toward Morris playing the entire game.

Seahawks: CRACK REMAINS
News: Despite marked improvement in his injured left foot, Shaun Alexander will not play for the Seahawks this Sunday in Chicago against the Bears. His brother, Durran, confirmed that Wednesday afternoon. Durran said he talked to his brother after doctors did their latest scan to check if a crack remained. Durran believes the crack is on the "ring toe" of his brother's left foot. "Doctors cannot explain how he feels better or how the level of swelling decreased so quickly," Durran Alexander said. "But there still is a crack there. So he'll be sitting out."
View: We didn't expect things would change on his playing status for the weekend. If you have Maurice Morris, you may want to sit him this week against the Bears defense and go with a better option.
