Baldwin (groin) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
While head coach Pete Carroll considers Baldwin "day-to-day," the wideout is "planning on playing" Sunday against the Colts, per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Baldwin may not have to practice this week in order to achieve that end, but an appearance Thursday or Friday would certainly quell fears about his chances to suit up this weekend. An absence Sunday would elevate Paul Richardson, Tyler Lockett and Jimmy Graham in the passing attack.

Baldwin (groin) is considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Monday's test results confirmed that Baldwin's groin injury isn't overly serious, although there's no guarantee he'll be available against the Colts. His activity level throughout this week of practice will ultimately be the determining factor, and if he's deemed inactive Sunday, Paul Richardson and Tyler Lockett should be candidates for extra targets.

Baldwin is slated to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his groin injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, "the early word is that (Baldwin's) injury is not serious." Prior to his exit from Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Titans, the Seahawks' top wideout had caught 10 passes (on 15 targets) for 105 yards and a TD. Next up on the team's wide receiver depth chart if Baldwin is out or limited at all in Week 4, are Paul Richardson and Tyler Lockett.

Seahawks coach Pete Caroll said Baldwin suffered a groin injury of unknown severity during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Titans, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin was injured in the fourth quarter and never returned, finishing with 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. As Sunday's stat line makes quite clear, any kind of absence would be a massive loss for the Seattle passing game. Tyler Lockett also appeared to suffer an injury on the team's final drive, but coach Pete Caroll said after the game that Lockett merely had the wind knocked out of him, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. The Seahawks have a Week 4 home game against the Colts.

Baldwin left Sunday's game in Tennessee with a groin injury and is questionable to return, Liz Mathews of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin had 10 catches for 105 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets at the time of his exit in the fourth quarter. He stayed on the sideline and looked like he was trying to get loose in an effort to rejoin the game.

Baldwin caught six of nine targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 12-9 victory over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin played all 82 offensive snaps Sunday and ultimately tied for the team lead in both targets and receptions. However, he was hamstrung by a quarterback that constantly seemed to be running for his life behind a leaky offensive line. Until the state of the entire Seahawks offense starts, it'll be hard to trust Baldwin as the near-elite fantasy wideout most owners thought him to be.

Baldwin caught each of his four targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Paul Richardson and Jimmy Graham were co-leaders with seven targets, yet Baldwin still managed to lead the team in receiving yards while tying Richardson for the most catches. The entire Seattle offense was slowed by poor line play and the lack of a running game, which contributed to the Packers holding a nearly 2:1 advantage in time of possession. Given the team's other options on offense, volume shouldn't be a major concern for Baldwin this season. The Seahawks have a home date with San Francisco in Week 2.

Baldwin caught two of three passes for 45 yards in Friday's preseason win against Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Playing into the third quarter, Baldwin caught deep passes of 20 and 25 yards. This follows a 37-yard gainer he recorded in the second week of the preseason against Minnesota. Seattle has been airing it out in earnest this preseason, with starting quarterback Russell Wilson averaging 15.4 yards per completion. Baldwin, a dangerous vertical threat, thrives in such scheme and could be a terror if Seattle continues to throw deep at this rate in the regular season.

Baldwin caught all four of his targets for 69 yards against the Vikings in Week 2 of preseason Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin ended up leading his team in receiving yards while tying for the most targets and catches despite playing just two drives. The soon-to-be 29-year-old wide receiver out of Stanford set career highs with 94 catches for 1,128 yards last year and should once again serve as the focal point of Seattle's passing attack this season.

Baldwin (foot) returned to practice Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin suffered a minor foot strain at practice last Thursday, but the Seahawks' top wideout quickly rebounded from the issue and is thus a candidate to make his preseason debut Friday against the Vikings.
