Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin is dealing with a hamstring injury and considered a game-time decision on Sunday when the Seahawks play the St. Louis Rams.

Baldwin's name popped up on the injury report Wednesday when he missed practice. He sat out again Thursday.

"Yeah, he had a little bit of a muscle that was bothering him," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "We don't know if it's a pull. He's had a lot of work lately, so we're just giving him a break on it."

Baldwin caught two touchdown passes on Sunday in the Seahawks' win over the Cleveland Browns, giving him 10 touchdown receptions in the past four games. He joined Cris Carter and Calvin Johnson as the only players since 1960 with multiple touchdown catches in four straight games.

"We think (he's OK)," Carroll said. "He's going to do a little more work tomorrow. He'll go all the way to game time, but he feels very good. But we're still going to be slow to bring him back. He'll do some stuff (Friday), then we'll take it all the way to game time on that."

The Seahawks currently have four wide receivers on the roster and, considering the uncertainly surrounding Baldwin, could elevate receiver Kasen Williams from the practice squad before Sunday's game.

In 14 games this season, Baldwin has 65 receptions for 905 yards and 13 touchdowns.
