Baldwin (knee) practiced fully Friday, but the Seahawks consider him questionable for Sunday's contest in Arizona, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin seems destined to play for the first time since the regular-season opener, considering he progressed to a full practice participant by week's end. On top of that development, coach Pete Carroll came around to Baldwin's view on his health Friday, telling Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR that the wide receiver "is going to play in this game." Still, Baldwin likely must get through a pregame warmup unscathed before he gets the final seal of approval from the Seahawks' training staff. Expect a decision on his availability to be made about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:00 PM ET kickoff.

Baldwin (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, with Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune suggesting all signs point to a return.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin returned to practice as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, prompting coach Pete Carroll to deem the veteran wideout ready for a return. All signs may point in the right direction, but it is worth noting that Carroll has a lengthy history of being overly optimistic -- or perhaps even intentionally deceptive -- when discussing player injuries with the media. We'll still want to check Seattle's inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 PM ET kickoff.

Coach Pete Carroll said he expects Baldwin (knee) to play in Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Stacy Jo Rost of 710 ESPN Seattle reports. "[Baldwin] looked great (in practice), he looked great" Carroll said. "He was explosive... we're really excited for him to play in this game."

EDGE Analysis

Carroll has a track record of making these types of statements about players that end up on the inactive list, but his optimism is at least a good sign even if it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Baldwin was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday after sitting out entirely the previous two weeks. Another update will be available Friday afternoon when the Seahawks release their final injury report.

Baldwin (knee) said Thursday that he feels "ready to go" for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, according to Brady Henderson of ESPN.com.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin conceded that a final call on his Week 4 status will be made by the coaching staff, but he believes he is ready to take the field after practicing on a limited basis both Wednesday and Thursday. The Eagles will provide an official update on Baldwin's status for Sunday's contest at some point Friday, but a final call on his availability may not come until game day.

Baldwin (knee) remained limited at Thursday's practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given "a chance to play this week" by coach Pete Carroll on Wednesday, Baldwin himself is hopeful that a return is in the offing Sunday at Arizona, per Henderson. Baldwin would ease concerns about his availability with a full practice Friday, but his healing right knee may not cooperate. Ultimately, the final injury report of the week will list whether he has a chance to play for the first time since the regular-season opener.

Baldwin (knee) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The appearance marks Baldwin's first in a session since picking up a Grade 2 MCL sprain Week 1. Earlier Wednesday, coach Pete Carroll opened the door for Baldwin's return to game action, telling Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune that the wide receiver has a "chance to play this week." Such a decision likely hinges on Baldwin's ability to progress throughout the week and perhaps even log a full practice. In the end, Friday's injury report will be telling for his potential to return Week 4.

Coach Pete Carroll said Baldwin (knee) will return to practice Wednesday and may be available for Sunday's game in Arizona, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin presumably will be eased in as a limited participant in his first practice session since suffering a sprained MCL in Week 1. Given the way Seattle has handled injuries in recent seasons, there's a good chance the 30-year-old wideout will be deemed a 'game-time decision', even if the team knows its plan by Friday. A return to full practice participation by the end of the week would put Baldwin on track to play.

Coach Pete Carroll didn't elaborate on whether Baldwin (knee) has a chance to play Sunday at Arizona, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

After picking up a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee in the regular-season opener, Baldwin was given a prognosis of "a couple weeks" from Carroll. With two weeks behind him, Baldwin could be a candidate to return Week 4, assuming his rehab is going as planned. On Monday, Carroll told Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic that the Seahawks will have more information on Baldwin later this week, intimating he has a chance to practice in the near future.

Baldwin (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baldwin was plagued throughout training camp and the preseason due to an undisclosed knee injury. When he attempted to play at less than 100 percent Week 1, he left the contest and was diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee. Baldwin hasn't logged any practice reps in the meantime, and until he does so, the Seahawks likely will err on the side of caution with their No. 1 wideout. In Baldwin's stead, Brandon Marshall, Tyler Lockett and Will Dissly will serve as Russell Wilson's top options in the passing attack.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Baldwin (knee) could be "a little further away" from returning to the field, suggesting the wideout likely won't be available Week 3 against the Cowboys, Mike Vorel of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

A multi-week absence always appeared to be a likely outcome for Baldwin after he sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain in the Seahawks' season-opening loss to the Broncos, so Carroll's comments don't come as much of a surprise. After failing to practice last week, it's unclear if Baldwin will be ready to progress to field work at any point this week. In any case, with Baldwin due to miss another game, Tyler Lockett profiles as the team's top receiving threat in Week 3 after hauling in five of seven targets for 60 yards in a score in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.
