RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Doug Baldwin knows he's fortunate to have spent eight years in the NFL and to have established himself as one of the better players on several elite teams.
He also knows he's fortunate to have gotten this far without having a season defined by obvious injuries affecting his play — until this year.
"I was talking to some friends about it the other day in the league and it feels like every player who is fortunate enough to play a long time in the NFL has a year like this where they cannot knock the injury bug," Baldwin said.
