Darrell Baker Jr. - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Steps into expanded role Baker recorded 55 tackles (39 solo) with seven passes defensed across 17 games in 2025.

Impact Baker served as Tennessee's top corner for much of the season due to the absence of L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps). He was picked on by opposing quarterbacks and surrendered a poor 135.4 passer rating and a 72.9 completion percentage when targeted, per PFF. Baker is an unrestricted free agent, and he'll likely have to settle for a modest, short-term deal.

Suiting up Sunday Baker (knee/illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Impact Baker was bombarded this week, sustaining both a knee injury and illness that threatened to take his playing eligibility for Sunday. Evidently the starting cornerback was able to persevere, and he will look to continue the trend of playing 100 percent of snaps for the Titans' defense for a third consecutive week.

Dealing with illness Baker, who is questionable to play Sunday against Seattle, is managing an illness as well as a knee injury, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Baker popped up on Tennessee's injury report Wednesday due to a knee issue. The illness was added on Friday's report, and Baker was deemed questionable for Sunday. Baker has played every defensive snap for the Titans over their past two games, so the team will have to turn to another player to start if he's unable to suit up against the Seahawks.

Dealing with knee issue Baker (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Baker played 100 percent of snaps in Week 11 against Houston and recorded a career-high 12 tackles, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. He'll have two days to increase his participation to prepare for a Week 12 matchup against the Seahawks.

NOVEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 12 stops vs. Houston Baker posted 12 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defense during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Impact Baker entered Week 11 having not recorded more than five tackles through nine regular-season games, but he was far busier during Sunday's AFC South tilt and finished with a game-high 12 stops. Baker has stepped into a larger role in the Titans' secondary over the team's last four games, coinciding with L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) on injured reserve and Roger McCreary being traded to the Rams, both of which took place in late October. Baker and the Titans will welcome in the Seahawks in Week 12.

Clears concussion protocol Baker (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact Baker was a full participant in each of the last two practices of the week, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. Baker should have a larger role in the Titans' secondary following Roger McCreary's trade to the Rams on Monday.

Logs full practice Thursday Baker (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Baker was able to practice without restriction Thursday, but he will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be removed from the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Baker could have a more prominent role in Tennessee's defense for the second half of the regular season after the Titans traded Roger McCreary to the Rams on Monday.

Back at practice Baker (undisclosed) returned to training camp Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of Titans.com reports.

Impact After leaving Tuesday's practice early, Baker was back to full participation. Training camp is the first time the 27-year-old has participated in offseason programs, as he was recovering from shoulder surgery during minicamp.

Impact Baker is still recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent earlier in the offseason but is expected to be back in time for training camp. The 27-year-old racked up 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass deflections in 17 games for the Titans last season and should serve as one of the team's top depth corners during the upcoming campaign.

MARCH 10, 2025 • Associated Press

Starts nine games in 2024 Baker tallied 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass defenses over 17 regular-season games in 2024.

Impact The Titans claimed Baker off waivers in late August after he was let go by the Colts at the end of training camp. He was mostly used on special teams over the Titans' first five games of the regular season, but he was thrust in a starting role in Week 7 due to injuries to L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) and Chidobe Awuzie. Baker is an exclusive rights free agent, which means he wouldn't be able to negotiate a contract with another team if the Titans extend a qualifying offer to the third-year corner.
