The Seattle Seahawks are preparing to have star wide receiver Doug Baldwin back in time for the first game of the season. However, Baldwin may not be 100 percent for the first game — or at all throughout the entire season.

“I haven’t felt 100 percent since I was born,” Baldwin offered when asked how he feels on Tuesday. “I’m probably about 80 to 85 percent right now. And the truth of the matter is that it won’t be 100 percent. It’s something I got to deal with for the rest of the season.”

Baldwin participated in only two practices this summer before he was sidelined with a sore knee. Specifics about his treatment have not been disclosed. When asked whether any part of his recovery required surgery, Baldwin said, “Depends on your definition of surgery.”

Baldwin went on to say that he will be dealing with his knee injury throughout the year, saying, “It will be day-to-day.”

Regardless, Baldwin is expected to line up as Seattle’s No. 1 receiver when the team takes on the Broncos in Denver on Sept. 9. Kickoff is at 1:25 p.m. PT.
