SEATTLE, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin scored the game-winning touchdown for his team in Week 1.

This week Baldwin was getting an MRI, after injuring his knee in Week 2 action against the Los Angeles Rams. Baldwin suffered the injury in the first half of the game. He also said he played the game through back spasms.

On Monday, ESPN's Josina Anderson tweeted that Baldwin's MRI was negative.

"I'm good," Baldwin texted Anderson.

Baldwin, 27, had three catches for 20 yards Sunday. He exploded onto the scene in 2015, catching 78 passes for 1,069 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Multiple sources tweeted Sunday that Baldwin said he feels "like crap" before Anderson's report.

"He seems to be ok...We'll see what happens Wednesday-Thursday," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Monday.

Baldwin has shown that he will again be heavily involved in the Seahawks offense. I see him as a solid WR2 option with WR1 upside if he can go in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers.

"You'd have to carry me off in a bodysuit to get me off the field," Baldwin told the Seattle Times.
