Baldwin (groin) is expected to be a game-time decision for Monday's contest against the Vikings, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Contrary to previous reports, head coach Pete Carroll refuted the notion Baldwin injured his hip, instead suggesting the receiver may be dealing with a groin injury, slightly different than the one he played through Week's 11-13. While the Seahawks have yet to release their final injury report of the week, Baldwin will likely receive a questionable designation and fantasy owners will want to monitor the receiver's status in the coming days for any potential news prior to Monday's 8:15 ET kickoff.

Baldwin (hip) was withheld from practice Friday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Thursday, it's somewhat worrisome that Baldwin was unable to upgrade to a limited or full practice Friday. On the other hand, regular bouts with injury this season may have forced the Seahawks to institute a more rigid maintenance program on the wideout. Baldwins' activity level at and subsequent listing on the injury report after Saturday's session could be key for his ability to play Monday against the Vikings.

Baldwin didn't practice Thursday due to a hip injury, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin has been unable to avoid the injury bug this season, dealing with knee, groin and now a hip issue along the way. His ensuing workload on gamedays has not been compromised, though, as evidenced by playing at least 85 percent of the snaps on offense in six straight contests. Baldwin's production has fallen off its usual perch, with just 25 catches (on 33 targets) for 255 yards and two touchdowns during that span. It remains to be seen if his bout with the hip will impact his availability for Monday's showdown with the Vikings, but he has two more practices to prove his health.

Baldwin hauled in two of four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin was targeted in the red zone twice, and he hauled the second one in for a one-yard score. It saved Baldwin from another dud, as his fantasy value shrivels without touchdowns -- he has surpassed 52 receiving yards just twice this year. It was Baldwin's second score in three weeks, and he tied running back Chris Carson for a team high in targets. Baldwin's task of finding the end zone will be more difficult in Week 14 against the Vikings.

Baldwin (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin played through the same injury without practicing in any capacity last week, catching five of seven targets for 39 yards in a 27-24 win over the Panthers. He avoided any setbacks during the game and has been able to partake on a limited basis this week. Despite the improvement from a health perspective, Baldwin may have a tough time drawing targets in a run-first offense that probably won't need to do much throwing this week.

Baldwin (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With an appearance at practice Thursday, Baldwin is healthier than he was at any point a week ago. Following those restrictions, he took the field for 90.3 percent of the offensive snaps Week 12 in Carolina, parlaying them into five catches (on six targets) for 39 yards. The performance may have been underwhelming, but a friendly matchup awaits this weekend if Baldwin is active. On Sunday, the Seahawks take on a 49ers defense that has conceded 166.3 receiving yards per game and 15 touchdowns to wideouts in 11 contests this season.

Baldwin (groin) was held out of practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rehab room was Baldwin's home last week, but he brushed off the groin injury and posted his second-highest snap share of 2018 (90.3 percent of those on offense) in a Week 12 win at Carolina. Despite being targeted by Russell Wilson seven times, Baldwin caught just five of them for 39 yards, marking his fifth performance of less than 40 receiving yards in nine appearances this season. In the wake of the outing, coach Pete Carroll spoke glowingly about Baldwin. "He feels really good," Carroll told Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle on Wednesday. "That was amazing what he did last week. With the groin strain that he had to play like that." Last week serves as evidence that Baldwin doesn't need practice reps in order to play, but he'll have chances Thursday and Friday to get in some on-field work.

Baldwin caught five of a seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin led the Seahawks in targets for the second consecutive week, and he only saw one pass in the red zone. The veteran receiver may have been hindered by a groin injury that kept him out of practice all week, so his health should be monitored ahead of Week 13's matchup with the 49ers.

Baldwin (groin) is active for Sunday's contest at Carolina, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin was unable to practice all week after aggravating a groin injury, inducing a "game-time decision" proclamation from coach Pete Carroll on Friday, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. The Seahawks added fuel to the fire by promoting wide receiver Keenan Reynolds from the practice squad Saturday. To stem the tide, Baldwin completed 50-yard sprints and cutting during a pregame workout Sunday, per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times. Although Baldwin did enough to impress the team's training staff, the risk of an in-game setback is evident.

Though Baldwin (groin) is listed as questionable Sunday against the Panthers and was previously labeled a game-time decision by coach Pete Carroll, the Seahawks believe the wideout has a "good shot" to play, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
EDGE Analysis
Seattle's decision to promote fellow receiver Keenan Reynolds from the practice squad Saturday seemed to indicate more uncertainty about Baldwin's availability, but Rapoport characterizes Reynolds' addition as more of an insurance policy. Those planning on using Baldwin in fantasy lineups will still want to confirm his availability prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff, with final word on his status likely to come when Seattle releases its inactive list 90 minutes before game time. Even if Baldwin is cleared to suit up, it would probably be wise to limit expectations while he plays at less than 100 percent health.
