Cardinals Put Budda Baker On Injured Reserve

Cardinals Put Budda Baker On Injured Reserve

one year ago

The Arizona Cardinals placed star safety Budda Baker (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Monday, which means he'll now miss at least the next four games. Baker suffered his hamstring injury in practice on Friday and was inactive for the Week 2 loss to the New York Giants. The 27-year-old All-Pro won't be able to make his return to the field until Oct. 22 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 7. It's bad news for the entire Cardinals defense as they head into a Week 3 matchup against the 2-0 Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues that were using Baker in a starting defensive back role will now have to look in another direction for at least the next four weeks. Andre Chachere will continue to start in Baker's absence.
