The veteran linebacker missed Week 3 and Week 4 due to a hamstring injury but has played all but one of Seattle's defensive snaps over the past two games. Baker has recorded 30 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, overall through four contests on the campaign.

Past hamstring issue Baker (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Baker had missed the Seahawks last two contests due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday. The first-year Seahawk will rejoin Tyrel Dodson as part of Seattle's top inside linebacker duo in Week 5.

Estimated as limited Wednesday The Seahawks deemed Baker (hamstring) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Baker injured his hamstring against New England in Week 2 and missed Seattle's subsequent two games. He did manage to logged a limited practice session this past Saturday, so there's a chance he could return for Sunday's Week 5 matchup versus the Giants. The Seahawks held a walkthrough Wednesday since they played two days earlier on Monday Night Football, and Baker's status should gain more clarity with his level of participation in practice Thursday and Friday.

Inactive Monday Baker (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions.

Impact The starting inside linebacker also missed the team's Week 3 game against the Dolphins. Baker signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in March and recorded nine tackles in Seattle's first two contests of 2024. Tyrice Knight is in line to play in Baker's place.

Questionable for Week 4 Baker (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Lions, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Baker missed practice both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring issue, but it appears he's still got a chance to suit up Monday night. The first-year Seahawk has been dealing with this hamstring injury for the last couple of weeks, and if he's forced to miss his second consecutive game in Week 4, expect Tyrice Knight to see additional work with Seattle's first-team defense.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Considered unavailable Friday Baker (hamstring) was estimated to be a non-participant at the Seahawks' walkthrough Friday, Corbin Smith of SI.com reports.

Impact Baker has been nursing a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 2, failing to return to practice quite. With Seattle playing the Lions on Monday Night Football, the linebacker will have an extra day to attempt to return to action, but he appears to be trending towards a second consecutive absence in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

DNP to open week Baker (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Baker injured his hamstring in Week 2, which caused him to sit out for Week 3 against the Dolphins. His DNP on Thursday isn't a great start to the week, but the 2018 third-round pick will have two more chances to see the field ahead of Monday's game against the Lions.

Not suiting up Baker (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Dolphins.

Impact Baker suffered the injury in Week 2 against the Patriots and was unable to practice Friday, earning a doubtful designation in the process. In his absence, Tyrice Knight should see the bulk of the now available opportunities at inside linebacker.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Sunday Baker (hamstring) is doubtful to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Baker hurt his hamstring Week 2 versus New England and missed the end of the contest. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday of this week but returned to being a non-participant Friday. Baker is thus unlikely to suit up Sunday, and Tyrice Knight seems to be the leading candidate to pick up increased snaps in his probable absence.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Baker (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice session, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Baker sustained a hamstring injury in the Seahawks' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, and he opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, and he'll have to be a full participant in Friday's session if he wants to avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against Miami. Baker has accrued nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defended over the first two games of the regular season.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from practice Baker (hamstring) did not participate at the Seahawks' practice Wednesday, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Baker dealt with a hamstring injury throughout training camp and despite playing through it in Week 1, was questionable for Sunday's game before ultimately being active against New England. Tyrice Knight will likely see extra opportunities while Baker is out of the game.
