Baker (hamstring) was a limited participant at Seattle's practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports. Baker dealt with a hamstring injury throughout August, but he was able to play in the team's Week 1 win over the Broncos, recording five tackles. The linebacker will have two more chances to increase his workload at practice before Sunday's game against the Patriots.

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

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. Baker has been out of action for two weeks so 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.

Baker hasn't been participating in practice due to a hamstring injury, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports. It's not quite clear when Baker suffered the injury, but head coach Mike Macdonald didn't think the veteran would be returning in short order. Expect Tyrel Dodson and Jon Rhattigan to continue seeing the bulk of the inside linebacker opportunities in Baker's absence.

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