Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin returned to practice on Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday's practice with a knee issue. However, cornerback Shaquill Griffin, who is nursing a foot injury, remained out, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk.
Baldwin played in 13 games during the regular season, hauling in 50 receptions for 618 yards and five touchdowns in what was his least productive year in quite some time.
Prior to the 2018 campaign, Baldwin had made back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances. In 2016, he caught 94 passes for 1,128 yards and 10 scores, and last year, he snared 75 balls for 991 yards while reaching the end zone eight times.
Baldwin signed with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2011 and has been a mainstay in the receiving corps ever since, providing Russell Wilson with a reliable target during their back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
Griffin started all 16 games for the Seahawks this year, registering 59 tackles, two interceptions and eight passes defended.
The 23-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Central Florida, was originally selected by Seattle in the third round (90th pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He played in 15 games during his rookie campaign, finishing with 58 stops, a sack, an interception and 15 passes defended.
The Seahawks won 10 games this season, getting back to the playoffs after a short one-year hiatus last year. Seattle's absence from the postseason during the 2017-18 campaign ended a streak of five straight playoff appearances, including a Super Bowl victory over Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in 2013-14.
The Seahawks will battle the Dallas Cowboys in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs this Saturday.
