Cardinals' Budda Baker: Cleared to face Denver
Baker (groin) is active against the Broncos on Sunday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Baker has been working through both a groin injury and an illness, but the veteran safety has been given the green light by medical staff to play Sunday. He has 42 tackles (24 solo), including a career-best 3.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception) through six regular-season games.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Should play Week 7
Baker (groin) is listed as questionable but expected to play against the Broncos on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Baker missed the first two practices of the week due to both an illness and groin injury before logging a limited session Friday. That was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Week 7, and it appears the veteran safety will suit up against Denver.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Chance to play against Denver
Baker (groin/illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Baker was held out of each of the first two practices due to an illness and groin injury, but he earned the questionable tag after logging a limited session Friday. Wydett Williams and Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would be the top candidates to start at safety if Baker cannot play.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Absent from practice again Thursday
Baker (groin/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Baker played through a groin issue in the Cardinals' contest against the Rams in Week 6, but he has now missed two straight practice sessions after an illness was added to his status on the injury report.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Notches sack and pass defensed in win
Baker logged six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed in the Cardinals' 18-16 win over the Rams on Sunday.
The veteran strong safety did it all in Sunday's contest while playing all 57 of the Cardinals' defensive snaps. Baker sacked Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford for a loss of eight yards on first down in the second quarter, leading to a Rams punt. The defensive back regularly blitzes the quarterback and has accumulated 3.5 sacks through six regular-season games in 2026.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Sits out practice Wednesday
Baker (groin/illness) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Baker was able to play through his groin issue in Week 6 against the Rams, but now he's also dealing with an illness, and his status for Week 7 is in question. He'll probably have to manage a full practice Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Questionable for Sunday
Baker (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Baker did not participate in Friday's practice with a new groin injury. The veteran strong safety is a durable defensive back, so he may be able to play through the issue for Sunday's divisional bout. If Baker cannot suit up, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson will likely start at strong safety.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Strong outing in loss
Baker tallied five tackles (two solo) and an interception during Arizona's loss versus the Giants on Sunday.
Baker had a strong outing despite the loss, as he managed to record one of the team's two interceptions of Jameis Winston. The 2017 second-round pick has now compiled 25 tackles (14 solo), including 1.5 sacks and an interception across his first four outings and will look to keep producing next week versus the Lions.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Piles up 11 tackles in defeat
Baker recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
While Baker racked up a load of tackles, he was burned in coverage on Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 82-yard touchdown on a double-move in the first quarter. JSN made the entire Arizona secondary look foolish en route to 9-155-3 receiving line across 11 targets. Through two games this season, Baker has 16 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, on 100 percent of the defensive snaps.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Gets to Herbert late in Week 1 win
Baker recorded five tackles (four solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Baker and linebacker Jack Gibbens combined for an eight-yard sack on Justin Herbert late in the fourth quarter, setting back any dim hopes the Chargers had of making a late comeback. The combined sack matched Baker's total from last season, and he was one of three Cardinals to play all 55 defensive snaps in Sunday's win. The veteran safety has six 100-plus tackle campaigns under his belt, but he'll need more production in the box score in order to make it seven seasons reaching that milestone.
