Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin‘s NFL career may finish prematurely “due to the cumulative effect of multiple injuries,” per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The eight-year veteran is one of the game’s tougher players: The physical, 5’10” wideout has missed only five regular-season games and played a full 16-game regular season on six occasions.

Last year was a struggle for Baldwin, as he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain, a hip injury and an elbow injury. However, he still played 13 games and amassed 50 catches for 618 yards and five touchdowns for the 10-6 Seahawks, who earned a wild-card berth.

During the offseason, Baldwin underwent surgery on his groin and shoulder, per Schefter.
