Two veteran leaders who have missed multiple games to injury this season returned to practice for the Seahawks on Thursday. Wideout Doug Baldwin (hip), who was held out of this past Monday night's win over the Minnesota Vikings, and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee), who last played for Seattle in Week 10 and has been active for just three games in 2018, each worked in limited fashion Thursday ahead of Sunday's road game against the San Francisco 49ers. Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll discussed Baldwin and Wright's status during his Wednesday press conference and will likely address the pair's situation for this weekend's game when he meets with the press again following Friday's workout at Virginia Mason Athletic Center.
Nine players were sidelined for the Seahawks' first practice of Week 15, but on Thursday that number was down to six. Offensive lineman D.J. Fluker (hamstring), running back Rashaad Penny (knee), safety Maurice Alexander (concussion), and defensive tackle Shamar Stephen all sat out for the second straight day, while defensive end Frank Clark (elbow) and defensive tackle Jarran Reed (oblique) were added to Seattle's did-not-participate list after going limited on Wednesday.
Safety Bradley McDougald (knee), who did not participate Wednesday, was upgraded to limited on Thursday, as was defensive end Dion Jordan (knee). Joining Tre Madden (chest) as full participants Thursday were running back Chris Carson (not injury related) and left tackle Duane Brown (not injury related), who each had Wednesday off.
