  • Another 10 tackles Sunday

    Baker compiled 10 tackles (nine solo), two pass defenses, one QB hit and one fumble recovery during Sunday's 30-27 loss at Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Yet again, Baker played 100 percent of the defensive snaps, marking the seventh time he's done so in 10 games this season. After his third consecutive double-digit tackle outing as well, Baker leads all defensive backs in the category and is fourth overall in the NFL. With the 49ers on tap this Sunday, Baker will attempt to replicate his 13-tackle performance against them from Week 9.

  • Another big tackling day

    Baker recorded 13 tackles (11 solo) and three defended passes during Thursday's 28-25 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Baker has now logged two consecutive games with more than 10 tackles. The third-year pro has played more than 95 percent of snaps on defense in every game this season and is averaging 8.4 tackles per contest, making him an every-week starter in IDP formats.

  • Tackling machine

    Baker made 14 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 31-9 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Baker served as the Cardinals' leading tackler in this contest, and he's averaging 7.9 stops per contest. He hasn't left the field on defense in three straight weeks, and his continued full snap count puts him in a good position to maintain IDP value Thursday against the run-heavy 49ers.

  • Another eight tackles

    Baker had eight tackles (four solo), a half-tackle for loss and one pass defensed during Sunday's 27-21 road win versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Baker opened the season on a tear, with 19 tackles in the first two games, only to manage just four or five stops in each of the ensuing three contests. He's bounced back with consecutive eight-tackle outings, but his first sack and defensive TD of the season still await after totaling three and one, respectively, across the first 30 appearances of his career.

  • Supplies just four tackles Sunday

    Baker racked up four tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 26-23 victory at Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Baker opened the season with back-to-back strong efforts en route to 19 total tackles, but he's managed just 14 (nine solo) over the last three games. Perhaps the presence of offseason addition Jordan Hicks (54 tackles, third in the NFL) is hurting Baker's prospects. Still, Baker is on pace for 100-plus stops and should pick up the occasional sack or turnover, making him a useful IDP out of the Cardinals' secondary.

  • Practices fully Thursday

    Baker (thigh) put in a full practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: After a brief dalliance as a limited practice participant Wednesday, Baker was back to normal one day later. Through four games, he's in a tie for 10th among NFL defensive backs with 29 tackles. However, he has yet to contribute a turnover or sack after accounting for three and three, respectively, in the first two seasons of his career.

  • Pops up on injury report

    Baker (thigh) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Baker picked up the injury, but it was serious enough to force him out of some valuable practice reps. The 2017 second-round pick is coming off a five-tackle performance in Week 4 and has stayed on his last year pace of 29 through four games. If Baker can't suit up for Sunday's game against Cincinnati, Jalen Thompson could be in line for the start at the free safety position.

  • Accrues five tackles in Week 4

    Baker recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 27-10 defeat to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Baker is matching his tackle pace from last season, with 29 through four games. That's enough to make him a viable IDP on a weekly basis, but he's only made one splash play (a forced fumble) at the quarter mark of the campaign. The Cardinals have the fourth-fewest turnovers (three) in the NFL to date, so Baker and company seemingly are due for an upsurge in takeaways.

  • Another solid performance Sunday

    Baker recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) to go along with a forced fumble across 77 defensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Baker logged another impressive performance in Week 2, as he tied for the team lead in tackles. The third-year pro is proving to be a clear IDP candidate at the safety position.

  • Makes eight stops

    Baker posted eight tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-27 tie versus the Lions.

    Analysis: Baker had a monster workload, playing all 88 defensive snaps extending into overtime. The third-year pro looks prepared to eclipse last year's mark of 102 tackles as long as he keeps up this snap count, while his IDP prospects look just as promising.

    Published: Wed, Sep 11 at 11:03am by Rotowire.com

  • Moving back to free safety

    Baker likely will play free safety under new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official website reports.

    Analysis: Baker played most of his snaps as a strong safety and slot cornerback in 2018, allowing him to pile up 102 tackles (78 solo) and two sacks in 14 games. He expects to have more interception chances playing further away from the line of scrimmage, but his role change could leave fellow safety D.J. Swearinger as the more reliable IDP option in the Arizona secondary.

  • Logs first 100-tackle season

    Baker compiled 102 tackles (78 solo), two sacks, two fumble recoveries (one for a touchdown) and one forced fumble in 14 games during the 2018 season.

    Analysis: Since locking down a starting role at strong safety in Week 11 of his rookie year in 2017, Baker has averaged 7.4 tackles per game across his 20 starts, which translates to a shade over 118 for a 16-game slate. The preceding includes sitting out Weeks 11 and 12 of this season with a knee injury and being listed on Cardinals practice reports for the final five weeks. With renewed health in 2019, Baker again will be an IDP consideration in most formats.

  • Active Sunday

    Baker (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Falcons, Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com reports.

    Analysis: Baker returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday after failing to participate Wednesday, so he'll be healthy enough to start at strong safety next to Antoine Bethea.

    Published: Sun, Dec 16 at 9:14am by Rotowire.com

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Baker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker was unable to practice Wednesday but managed to practice in a limited capacity Thursday and Friday. The Washington product was able to play through the injury last week en route to four tackles (solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 47 defensive snaps. If Baker isn't able to suit up, Rudy Ford would be next in line for work in the secondary.

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Baker (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Lions, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com, Baker completed a pregame warmup, after which he must have gained clearance from the Cardinals' training staff in order to play. While he put in just one limited practice during Week 14 prep, Baker shouldn't have a problem earning snaps in a secondary that regularly uses five (or more) defensive backs. On the season, he's averaged eight tackles per game while tallying one defensive touchdown.

  • Trending toward game-time decision

    Baker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker has been impacted by lower-body injuries for approximately one month. A knee issue kept him on the sideline Weeks 11 and 12, but he returned to action this past weekend in Green Bay, playing 68 of 76 defensive snaps en route to collecting five tackles. Urban speculated that Baker will be a game-time call this weekend, so the safety's status will be one to watch until the Cardinals are required to post inactives about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. EST kickoff.

  • Not practicing to begin week

    Baker (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker was able to play through his lingering knee injury during Sunday's win over the Packers, but his Week 14 status nonetheless appears to be in question. The second-year safety will likely need to fully participate in practice on Thursday or Friday in order to suit up against the Lions on Sunday.

  • Active Sunday

    Baker (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker was held out last week due to his knee injury and was questionable entering Sunday's game despite being a full participant at practice Friday. He'll figure to resume his role as a starting safety alongside Antoine Bethea.

  • Questionable for Week 13

    Baker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday and was able to end the week with a full practice Friday. The upward trend in his status bodes well for Baker's chances of playing Sunday. If the second-year-pro doesn't take the field, however, Rudy Ford (heel) would likely see an increase in snaps.

  • Limited again at practice

    Baker (knee) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker managed a pair of limited practices last week before sitting out Sunday's 45-10 loss to the Chargers. As such, his limited participation Wednesday and Thursday doesn't provide a strong hint that he'll be available for this weekend's game against the Packers. If he gains clearance to play, Baker would represent an elite IDP option out of the secondary after piling up 75 tackles and two sacks through his first nine appearances of 2018.

  • Puts in limited practice Wednesday

    Baker (knee) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker also was listed as a limited participant last Thursday and Friday before missing his second game in a row in the Week 12 loss to the Chargers. On Monday, coach Steve Wilks expressed optimism regarding Baker's ability to play this weekend at Green Bay, telling Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that he's "very hopeful" the safety can return. Baker has two more practices to prove the health of his knee.

  • Expected to play Week 13

    Coach Steve Wilks said he's "very hopeful" that Baker (knee) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Packers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Baker has missed two consecutive games due to a lingering knee issue, but he appears to be nearing a return to health. The second-year safety may need to fully return to practice before retaking the field, so his participation in this week's drills will be worth monitoring. If Baker is able to suit up in Week 13 against the Packers, he'll draw the start at strong safety.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Baker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker made it through pregame warmups before the Cardinals ultimately made the decision to keep him sidelined for a second consecutive week. Baker's absence allows cornerback Chris Jones to become active for the first time this season.

  • Questionable for Week 12

    Baker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker missed last week's loss to the Raiders due to a knee injury and still appears to be managing his recovery. The second-year safety was able to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and Friday after having sat out to begin the week. It remains to be seen whether Baker will be cleared for Sunday's tilt against the Chargers, but his presence would be a huge boost to Arizona's secondary as they attempt to contain the Philip RIvers-led offense.

  • Fits in some drills Thursday

    Baker (knee) was limited at Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: After sitting out Week 11 due to the knee injury, Baker followed Wednesday's absence with some activity Thursday. It's unclear if he must progress to an uncapped practice to play Sunday versus the Chargers, but his presence would be welcome as the Cardinals' second-leading tackler with 75.

  • Absent from Wednesday's practice

    Baker (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker sat out Arizona's loss to the Raiders in Week 11 due to an undisclosed knee injury and does not appear to be nearing a return to full health. The IDP standout's chances of suiting up Week 12 are murky at best, so his participation in practice Thursday and Friday warrants close monitoring. If Baker is unable to suit up Sunday, the Cardinals' secondary could face a serious challenge in containing the Philip Rivers-led Chargers' air attack.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Baker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker's knee issue first surfaced this week and prevented him from practicing in any fashion Wednesday through Friday. Though coach Steve Wilks expressed optimism the safety wouldn't have to miss time due to the injury, Baker ultimately wasn't able to progress as anticipated. With the IDP standout sidelined for the first time all season, Tre Boston and Rudy Ford (heel) could see increased snaps alongside starting safety Antoine Bethea.

  • Sits out another practice

    Baker (knee) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Though the knee issue prevented him from taking part in team drills for the second straight day, Baker was spotted going through individual work off to the side at the beginning of the session, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. In any case, the Cardinals will likely want the safety to take part in Friday's practice in some fashion to feel comfortable about his availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders. Baker has been an elite IDP option out of the secondary this season, accruing…read more

  • Picks up knee injury

    Baker was held out of practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. "I think Budda will be fine," coach Steve Wilks told Kyle Odegard of the team's official site. "We don't know exactly how long it's going to be. A guy like that, you're going to miss him being out there on the field if he doesn't play, because he just brings so much in every category."

    Analysis: On the season, Baker has missed an average of one defensive snap per game en route to earning a share of 98.4 percent of those snaps, which is good for third on the Cardinals behind fellow defensive backs Antoine Bethea and Patrick Peterson. Following Monday's MRI, the team has honed in on the specific injured body part, but the nature of the issue is unknown. Based on Wilks' comments, Baker may have suffered a knee concern that will result in an absence of some type. Baker could overturn that…read more

  • Receiving MRI

    Coach Steve Wilks said that Baker (undisclosed) is receiving an MRI on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: The reason for Baker's MRI remains unknown, but it's worth noting that the second-year safety was limited throughout practice last week due to a foot injury. Until the nature and severity of Baker's concern are revealed, his status for Week 11 against the Raiders will be difficult to peg.

  • Active Week 10

    Baker (foot) is active for Sunday's game at Kansas City, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: With a sudden appearance on the injury report Thursday, Baker spurred worries that the first DNP of his career was possible. That said, he reappeared Friday with a limited session, setting himself up to resume his first full season as a starter. With 72 tackles, including two sacks, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in eight games, Baker is a must-start IDP on a weekly basis.

  • Status in question for Sunday

    Baker (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report, only to log a limited practice Friday. A foot issue is to blame, threatening the availability of the Cardinals' leading tackler.

  • Dealing with foot injury

    Baker didn't practice Thursday due to a foot injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Baker has yet to miss a game in his one-plus seasons as a pro, but that streak could be threatened due to his sudden appearance on the injury report. Friday's report will impart whether Baker was merely given a day off to rest, or if the foot issue is serious enough to impact his availability heading into the weekend.
