Baldwin (hip) is listed as active Sunday at San Francisco

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin was able to uphold a prediction from coach Pete Carroll, who said the wide receiver "looks like he's playing" after Friday's practice, according to John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. In his previous nine appearances, Baldwin was on the field for at least 75 percent of the offensive snaps, so potential work will be there. One of those contests was a Week 13 matchup with the 49ers, who allowed Baldwin to rack up two catches (on four targets) for 22 yards.

Baldwin (hip), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, is expected to play, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

EDGE Analysis

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Baldwin's availability will hinge on him avoiding any pregame setbacks, but the Seahawks are optimistic he'll be ready to return from a one-game absence after turning in a good week of practice. Coach Pete Carroll backed up that sentiment when he addressed the media Friday, so it's not expected that Baldwin will have any strict limitations Sunday. That said, the wideout hasn't been the go-to weapon this season that he was in the past for Russell Wilson, as he's maxed out at seven receptions and 91 yards in his 10 appearances this season and has reached the end zone only twice.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll started the week sounding pessimistic, then referred to Baldwin as a game-time decision earlier Friday. The coach apparently liked what he saw during Friday's practice, but it probably isn't the best idea to take him at his word, as he has a long history of being too optimistic about player injuries. Baldwin's status will be confirmed one way or the other when the Seahawks release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff. Jaron Brown joined Tyler Lockett and David Moore in three-wide formations with Baldwin out of the lineup for Monday's 21-7 win over Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

The designation was safe to assume after coach Pete Carroll hinted Friday that the 30-year-old wideout could come down to a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. EST kickoff. Baldwin was held out of practice Wednesday, but he returned Thursday as a limited participant and is expected to give it another shot Friday afternoon. A Week 15 absence would free up regular snaps for Jaron Brown in three-wide sets alongside Tyler Lockett and David Moore.

Coach Pete Carroll expects Baldwin (hip) to be a game-time decision Sunday at San Francisco, 710 ESPN Seattle reports. "Doug practiced late in the week and if everything goes well all the way up to game time he has a good chance to play," Carroll said Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll sounded far less optimistic earlier in the week, noting Wednesday that Baldwin "may pull off another one of his miracles and get back to play." It now seems a more favorable outlook has taken hold after Baldwin practiced Thursday in a limited capacity, putting him on track to be listed as questionable on the final injury report. The Seahawks are scheduled for a 4:05 PM EST kickoff Sunday.

Baldwin (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

After sitting out Wednesday's session, Baldwin has taken the first step toward making a return with some activity Thursday. As coach Pete Carroll noted Wednesday, the Seahawks will take Baldwin "one day at a time" in his effort to put a hip injury behind him, according to Boyle. Barring a surprise development, Baldwin seems destined to enter the weekend with a questionable designation, but Friday's injury report will confirm as much.

Baldwin (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. "He went through the walk-through today," coach Pete Carroll told Boyle. "We'll just go one day at a time with Doug and never expect anything other than he may pull off another one of his miracles and get back and play. His mind is set on doing that. We'll see how he makes it though the week."

EDGE Analysis

The key here is Carroll's assertion that the Seahawks will take Baldwin's situation on a day-to-day basis. In the past, Baldwin has proved he needs very few, if any, practice reps to be considered available on an ensuing gameday. There's a great chance his status will remain in limbo until the team releases its inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff in San Francisco. Another absence from Baldwin would allow Tyler Lockett, David Moore and Jaron Brown to take on elevated roles within in the passing attack.

Coach Pete Carroll said Baldwin (hip) participated at Wednesday's morning walk-through, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Eventually, Baldwin will receive a listing on the first Week 15 injury report, but even if he's tabbed as a non-participant, it won't be cause for concern yet. As evidence, Carroll added that the Seahawks are taking Baldwin's situation "one day at a time." Russell Wilson has mustered just 490 passing yards in Baldwin's three absences this season, as opposed to 229.8 per game in 10 games together, so the wideout's status has been key for the aerial attack as a whole.

Baldwin (hip) is inactive for Monday's contest versus the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

After appearing on the injury report last Thursday as a non-participant due to a hip issue, Baldwin didn't take the practice field thereafter and went through the weekend as a game-time decision for Week 15. Early Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Baldwin was trending toward inactive status. "I wouldn't think so, but you never know with Doug," the source told Schefter. "I'm sure he will try." However, Baldwin didn't take the field during pregame warmups, per Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle, and was included on the Seahawks' list of inactives. With Baldwin out of the lineup, Tyler Lockett, David Moore and Jaron Brown will serve as Russell Wilson's primary options at wide receiver.

The Seahawks continue to view Baldwin (groin) as a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Vikings, but there remains real concern that he won't be available, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. ""I wouldn't think so, but you never know with Doug," a source told Schefter, when asked if Baldwin would play. "I'm sure he will try."

EDGE Analysis

After failing to practice in any capacity Thursday through Saturday, Baldwin doesn't seem to be trending in the right direction for the Week 14 contest. Fantasy managers intending to use Baldwin in lineups probably won't be left with many options at their disposal at this point, but David Moore and Jaron Brown would be the most likely beneficiaries of added snaps and targets in the event Seattle's top wideout sits out. More clues with regard to Baldwin's status should come later in the day, as the receiver will presumably go through a pregame workout at some point before Seattle releases its inactive list at approximately 6:45 p.m. EST.
