Seahawks' Baldwin exits game vs. Broncos with knee injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin will not return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos due to a knee injury.

Baldwin was held without a catch before leaving the contest.

The veteran receiver told reporters in August that he feared his knee injury would linger throughout the season, noting that he won't be at 100 percent at any juncture during the year.

It would be a significant loss for Seattle if Baldwin missed any more games. The 29-year-old has long been the anchor of the Seahawks' wide receiver group. He caught 75 passes for 991 yards and eight touchdowns in 16 games during the 2017 season and was named to the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year.

Brandon Marshall and Tyler Lockett will likely see more targets in his absence.
