Coach Pete Carroll said Baldwin (groin) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest at Carolina, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site, Baldwin is officially listed as questionable after practicing in no capacity all week. Baldwin was contained to some running and little else Friday, leaving his last chance to prove the health of his groin a pregame workout Sunday. Expect his status to receive clarity when the Seahawks release their list of inactives about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

Baldwin (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times suspects Baldwin is healthy enough to play despite being listed as a non-participant on the Wednesday and Thursday injury report. We should have a better idea once the Seahawks release their practice statuses from Friday, as it would be somewhat concerning if Baldwin hasn't progressed to some form of participation.

Baldwin (groin) was listed as a non-participant on the Seahawks' estimated injury report Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Pete Carroll gave his players the day off, but Baldwin wouldn't have practiced for a second consecutive day Thursday if the Seahawks had held a session. The decision may be a precautionary one with Baldwin embroiled in an injury-plagued season, but his status is worth monitoring to ensure he's available for Sunday's game at Carolina.

Baldwin (groin) was held out of practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bothered by a pair of knee injuries and more recently a groin ailment, Baldwin has often seen his practice workload scaled back this season. There wasn't any report of a setback or new injury after he caught seven of 10 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in last Thursday's 27-24 win over the Packers. Any concern will be put to rest if Baldwin returns to practice Thursday as the Seahawks continue preparation for a vital game against Carolina.

Baldwin caught seven of 10 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 27-24 win over the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Days after Baldwin reported his knee is painless, he has a breakout game. It's Baldwin's first score of the year and he recorded a season-high in targets. In fact, no Seahawks player has received more than eight targets in a game this campaign. Baldwin will look to continue his upward trend in Week 12 against the Panthers, who have allowed the second-most passing touchdowns (22) this year.

Baldwin said he finally feels healthy again, 710 ESPN Seattle reports. "It's been a very long time since I felt like myself," Baldwin said Tuesday. "Thursday last week was the first day I woke up in the morning and I didn't feel pain. I've been dealing with this for four months, and I forgot what it felt like to not have pain."
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin missed the entire preseason with an unspecified injury in his left knee, then sat out Weeks 2 and 3 while recovering from an MCL sprain in his right knee. The first issue was expected to linger throughout the entire season, but Baldwin apparently turned a corner last week. He was nonetheless held to five catches for 39 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams, extending his touchdown drought to seven games to open the season. The 30-year-old should reach the end zone before long, and his current average of 4.1 targets per game figures to rise by the end of the year. However, Baldwin probably won't return to his 2015-17 average of 7.3 targets per game, as Seattle leads the NFL in run play rate (51.1 percent) by a comfortable margin. He gets a middle-of-the-road matchup Thursday night, facing a Green Bay defense that's giving up 7.6 yards per pass attempt overall and 8.1 yards per target on throws to wide receivers.

Baldwin caught all five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Tyler Lockett was the only wideout who was targeted more, but Baldwin was inefficient yet again with 7.8 yards per catch. None of those targets came in the red zone, either, and Baldwin still hasn't found the end zone. He'll look to break the trend against the Packers, who are facing injuries in the secondary, on Thursday.

Baldwin (groin) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game versus the Rams, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Seahawks capped Baldwin's practice reps this week due to a groin injury, but the issue won't hinder him from taking the field for the divisional showdown. In the team's previous meeting with the Rams in Week 5, he was targeted just one time. However, he's accrued 12 receptions (on 15 targets) for 194 yards and no touchdowns in three games in the meantime.

Baldwin (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although he elevated from no activity Wednesday to some drills one day later, Baldwin has picked up a groin injury. Notorious for impacting mobility, it wouldn't surprise if the Seahawks continue to place a cap on his practice reps with his gameday viability in mind. Friday's injury report will relay whether or not Baldwin enters the weekend with a designation in tow.

Baldwin was held out of Wednesday's practice with a groin injury, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baldwin didn't show any sign of limitation during Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chargers, catching each of his four targets for 77 yards while handling his largest snap share (89 percent) of the season. He apparently picked up a groin injury along the way, potentially threatening his status for a Week 10 road game against the Rams. Most of the concern will disappear if Baldwin makes it back to practice Thursday. If not, the Seahawks may need to begin preparing Jaron Brown for an expanded role alongside Tyler Lockett and David Moore.
