The Seahawks placed LB Jerome Baker on the active/physically unable to perform list to begin training camp. Baker is still working back from the Week 18 right wrist injury that required surgery. He didn't do much in spring workouts with his new team either.
Seattle signed Baker to a one-year, $7 million deal back in March, two months after the surgery and following his release by Miami with a failed physical designation.
So they likely knew plenty about the return timeline. And we've seen no significant LB signings there since.
We'll see how long Baker stays on the PUP. He's eligible to come off at any point, and I'll bet he returns in time to lead the LB corps to begin the regular season.
Fellow new addition Tyrel Dodson also landed on the PUP to start camp with an undisclosed injury. That leaves the Seahawks down their expected new top two LBs.
The LB depth chart looks weak behind them. Baker and Dodson will be the only Seahawks LBs worth attention in your IDP league, and each is likely to go in sleeper range (with plenty of tackle upside).
An extended layoff for either player would likely lead Seattle to search for insurance at the position.
