The Seahawks signed Baker (wrist) to a one-year, $7 million deal Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was released by the Dolphins with a failed injury designation earlier this month, and he's now found a new home in Seattle. The 2018 third-round pick dealt with a wrist injury that forced him to miss four games in 2023, but he was still productive when on the field, recording 78 total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also intercepting two passes. Baker is expected to be an integral part of the Seahawks' linebacker corps in 2024, as the team lost both Jordyn Brooks and Bobby Wagner in free agency.

Baker (wrist) was released by the Dolphins with a failed injury designation on Tuesday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker's exit comes as Miami works to get under the league salary cap ahead of the March 13 deadline. The Ohio State product has been with the Dolphins since being selected in the third round of the 2018 Draft, but he'll have to find a new home for the 2024 campaign. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Baker and the team tried to work out a restructured contract, but the two sides couldn't reach an agreement.

Baker (wrist) was placed on injured reserve by the Dolphins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Baker underwent surgery to repair the wrist that he injured in Sunday's loss to the Bills and Tuesday's move just makes his postseason absence official. The linebacker played in 13 contests during the 2023 campaign, producing 78 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, while also adding three pass deflections and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

Baker underwent surgery to address his wrist injury and will be out for the rest of the season, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker picked up a wrist issue during Sunday's 21-14 loss versus the Bills, and now he'll be sidelined for the postseason. In his absence, Duke Riley projects to start at linebacker next to David Long.

Baker (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was taken off the Dolphins' IR on Saturday after missing the last four games with a knee injury. He'll likely go back to his starting inside linebacker spot alongside David Long for the Dolphins' regular-season finale.

Baker (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker missed the Dolphins' last four games since suffering a knee injury in the team's Week 13 win over the Commanders, but he's returning to the field just in time for the playoffs, assuming he sheds his questionable designation ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. The 27-year-old linebacker has recorded 69 total tackles in 12 games this season, and he'll look to get back into game shape in Week 18 against the Bills as the Dolphins try to secure the AFC East crown.

Baker (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve by the Dolphins on Wednesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker suffered an MCL injury in Week 13 and has been unavailable since, but Wednesday's transaction opens a 21-day window for him to return to practice and potentially be added to the active roster. With the Dolphins a lock for the postseason, the linebacker could provide them with a massive boost to their defensive, especially with Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) and Bradley Chubb (knee) done for the season. It's possible that Baker could return as soon as Sunday's matchup with the Bills, but time will tell when he's ultimately able to return to the field.

Miami Head Coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that he's "optimistic" that the team will open the 21-day practice window this week for Baker (knee) to return from injured reserve, Adam H. Beasley of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was placed on injured reserve Dec. 9 after suffering an MCL injury in Week 13. If his window opens this week, the Dolphins would have 21 days to elevate Baker to the 53-man roster. The linebacker started the Dolphins' first 12 games and recorded 69 tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions.

The Dolphins placed Baker (knee) on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Baker was originally thought to be week-to-week after he suffered an MCL injury in Week 13, but it now seems as if his knee issue is worse than Miami originally thought. The 26-year-old had started all 12 of the Dolphins' games thus far, recording 69 total tackles and two interceptions. With Baker missing at least the next four games, Channing Tindall projects to see increased opportunities in Miami's linebacker corps.

Baker is considered to be week-to-week due to an MCL injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's relatively promising news for Baker, who was unable to put any weight on his leg after taking a blow to his knee during Sunday's 45-15 win at Washington. Miami's injury reports this week will provide more insight into his potential availability for Week 14 versus the Titans.
