The 27-year-old played through his hamstring issue in Week 1, recording five total tackles on 68 defensive snaps. If he's unable to do the same Sunday, expect Tyrice Knight to assume one of Seattle's top inside linebacker spots.

Healthy ahead of Week 1 Baker (hamstring) did not appear on Seattle's initial injury report Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Baker appears to have moved past the hamstring injury that plagued him throughout August. The 27-year-old is geared up to operate as a starter at interior linebacker with the Seahawks in 2024 after spending the first six seasons of his career with Miami.

Should be ready Week 1 Baker (hamstring) remains unable to practice but the team is expecting him back before the start of the season, Jon Alfano of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Baker has been out of action for two weeks thus far, partly because the team has chosen to take a cautious approach. After six years in Miami, the Ohio State product joined Seattle on a one-year, $7 million contract, which came with high expectations after the loss of Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks this offseason. While Baker remains sidelined, rookie Tyrice Knight will continue to get extra reps and experience with the first-team defense.

Off PUP list Baker (wrist) passed his physical and was activated off the active/PUP list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Baker missed all of OTAs and minicamp after undergoing surgery for a right wrist injury he sustained in Week 18 of last season. The 27-year-old linebacker appears to have recovered from the procedure and is ready to participate in training camp, where he will compete for an every-down role at linebacker. The 2018 third-round pick out of Ohio State signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in March after spending the first six years of his career with the Dolphins. He finished 2023 with 78 tackles (51 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three passes defended, two interceptions and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games.

Heads to PUP list The Seahawks placed Baker (wrist) on the active/PUP list Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Impact Baker still appears to be recovering from a right wrist injury he suffered Week 18 of last season, and which required surgery. He can come off the PUP list and practice at any point during training camp, once healthy. The 27-year-old linebacker could earn a near every-down role in Seattle's defensive scheme, if he can recover without having to miss too much of camp.

Will miss rest of OTAs Coach Mike Macdonald said Thursday that Baker (wrist) won't be back as a full participant during practice until training camp, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Impact Baker is apparently still dealing with the wrist injury he picked up in Week 18 last season. When he's healthy, he profiles as a near every-down starter at linebacker, but in the meantime, rookie fourth-rounder Tyrice Knight could get some reps with the first team.

Impact Baker was released by the Dolphins with a failed injury designation earlier this month, and he's now found a new home in Seattle.

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.
