Highlights:
Baker rushed in from the side at the end of an 11-yard run by Akers. Baker’s head connected with Akers’ shoulder as he tried to make the tackle. Baker wasn’t moving right after the hit as he rolled onto his back, but he eventually was able to move his arms as he was carted off the field.
According to Mark Dalton, the Cardinals’ senior vice president of media relations, Baker suffered a concussion but had movement and feeling in his extremities.
College:
Baker attended Bellevue High School in Bellevue, Washington. He played safety and running back in football, and also ran track. As a senior, he was named the Seattle Times High School Athlete of the Year.
Baker wore it from 2018-2020, becoming an All-Pro and Pro Bowler in it just like Mathieu. But, when the NFL expanded the numbers rules so that defensive backs could choose between 1-49 this offseason, Baker knew he was going to go in another direction.
