Jerome Baker

Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald said the team plans to have Jerome Baker (knee) ready for Week 1 against the Broncos.

Baker suffered a knee injury in the Dolphins’ Week 13 matchup last season and was released by the team this offseason with a failed physical designation after the two sides were unable to agree to a restructured deal. Baker later joined the Seahawks on a one-year deal, but the veteran linebacker has yet to participate in any of the team’s training camp practices. While Macdonald didn’t say when he expects Baker to come off the active/PUP list and begin practicing with the team, the team doesn’t appear too concerned about his Week 1 availability.
