Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin has missed the entire preseason battling an injury. Baldwin practiced just two days this summer before he was sidelined with a sore knee.

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Baldwin won’t play in the team’s final exhibition game Thursday night against the Raiders but he will be ready for the start of the regular season next week.

“He’s back in action,” Carroll told reporters after Monday’s practice. “It’s really good to see him back out there running around and feeling great. He’s had a really good ramping up to get to this point and he’ll work the rest of the week with us.

“He won’t play in the game but he’ll be ready to go next week.”

The Seahawks face the Raiders Thursday night at CenturyLink Field to close out the preseason before Baldwin and his teammates head to Denver for their regular-season debut against the Broncos on Sept. 9.
