Budda Baker - Page 21 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Looking at Week 5 return Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Baker (thumb) will return against the Jets on Sunday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Baker missed Week 4's loss to the Panthers after undergoing surgery to address a UCL tear in his thumb, but it looks as though he's already ready to make a quick return. The starting safety could have to play with a cast or splint on his thumb.

Officially out Baker (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Baker underwent surgery to address a UCL tear in his thumb earlier in the week, so this news is not too surprising. While the team has not given a specific time table for his return, he is expected to be back sooner than later. With Chris Banjo (hamstring) also sidelined, some combination of Curtis Riley, Deionte Thompson and Charles Washington will presumably take on the secondary responsibilities.

Goes under knife Baker (thumb) has undergone surgery to address a UCL tear in his thumb, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Coach Kliff Kingsbury declined to give a specific timetable for Baker's recovery, but he did say that he hopes the star safety will return "sooner rather than later." Nonetheless, Baker is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's contest in Carolina. He may be able to avoid a long stint on the sideline if he's able to play with a cast or splint on his thumb.

Will undergo surgery soon Coach Kliff Kingsbury said after Sunday's loss to the Lions that Baker (thumb) will have a "procedure here very soon," Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Impact Baker played through a UCL tear in his thumb in Sunday's loss to Detroit, during which he notched a team-high eight tackles (all solo) in addition to one defended pass. The All-Pro safety looks likely to miss Week 4 at Carolina due to the surgery he'll soon undergo, with Deionte Thompson being a candidate to handle increased snaps as long as Baker is sidelined.

Playing Sunday, likely out Week 4 Baker, who doesn't carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Lions, is playing through a UCL tear in his thumb and plans to undergo surgery next week, Ian Rapoport of NFL...

Impact The All-Pro safety has been a premier IDP over the past two seasons, compiling at least 100 stops in both 2018 and 2019 and totaling 2.5 sacks, seven passes defensed and two forced fumbles between the two years. He's off to another strong start to 2020 with 20 tackles in two games, but Baker's fantasy managers should prepare to be without his services following the game against the Detroit. According to Rapoport, Baker is undergoing a procedure similar to the one that sidelined the Saints' Drew Brees for five games in 2019. As a non-skill position player, Baker should be able to play with a cast or splint on the thumb and won't require as long of an absence as Brees, but the Cardinals expect on the 24-year-old missing the Week 4 game in Carolina before returning to action Week 5 against the Jets.

49ers All-Pro TE George Kittle feeling better by the day

The San Francisco 49ers finally have gotten some good news on the injury front

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020 • Associated Press

Posts five tackles Sunday Baker recorded five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 30-15 win versus Washington.

Impact Baker is among the most reliable defensive backs for IDP purposes, so his lack of production Week 2 is nothing to worry about. That said, five stops is a bit disappointing after he racked up a career-high 15 in the season opener. Considering he compiled at least eight tackles 12 times in 16 games in 2019, Baker will look to get back on track Sunday against the Lions.

Posts career-best tackle total Baker notched 15 tackles (10 solo) during Sunday's 24-20 win in San Francisco.

Impact After finishing the 2019 season with the fourth-most tackles (147) in the NFL, Baker again is among the league leaders this year due to his Week 1 outburst. In fact, the 15 tackles marks a career high for the fourth-year free safety and was more than double any of his teammates. The performance was a fitting one, considering he's less than three weeks removed from the record-setting extension he signed back in August. Moving forward, Baker will continue to be one of the most reliable IDPs around.
