DENVER — Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin left the team’s 27-24 loss against the Denver Broncos with what coach Pete Carroll said was a sprained MCL.

Carroll did now know how long Baldwin would be out. Baldwin injured his right knee, which is not the same knee that forced him to miss a month of training camp.

Baldwin went down in the first quarter and started limping off the field before he went down again and had to be tended to by the team’s medical staff. He eventually walked off on his own power and returned later in the first half.

A press-box announcement early in the third quarter said he would not return to the game.

Baldwin was held without a catch on one target as Seattle went into halftime trailing 17-10.

Baldwin, who has led Seattle in receiving in five of his seven NFL seasons, missed about a month of training camp with a left knee injury. He estimated when he returned to practice in late August that he was about 80-85 percent healthy and said his knee injury was something he’d have to deal with throughout the season.

It’s not clear which knee Baldwin injured Sunday.
