Cardinals' Budda Baker: No issues post-concussion
Baker (concussion) had no restrictions for the Cardinals' offseason program, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.
Baker lost consciousness after a collision with RB Cam Akers in a January playoff loss to the Rams. The 26-year-old safety apparently was cleared before the offseason program, where he reportedly took on more of a leadership role and was present for each round of voluntary OTAs. Baker narrowly missed out on a fourth straight 100-tackle season last year, making up for it with a career-high three interceptions and career-high-tying totals for pass defenses (seven) and sacks (2.0). While no longer a runaway No. 1 among defensive back IDPs, he's still one of the stronger options.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Out of hospital, going home
Baker (concussion) was released from the hospital Tuesday and is returning to Arizona, Mark Dalton of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Baker took the brunt of a helmet-to-helmet collision with Rams running back Cam Akers in the second half of Monday's wild-card loss, remaining on the turf for several minutes before being stabilized, placed on a backboard and carted off the field. The scary scene was followed by confirmation of a concussion, but he didn't lose feeling or movement in his extremities, per Dalton. After getting evaluated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. overnight, Baker has been cleared to return home. He'll thus begin his offseason in recovery mode as he aims to rid himself of all concussion symptoms.

Cardinals' Budda Baker: Exits on stretcher
Baker will not return to Monday's game against the Rams after suffering a concussion, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Baker went low to take down Cam Akers on a run late in the third quarter, and he landed awkwardly on the turf as a result. He remained down for several minutes and was ultimately stretchered off the field. Chris Banjo will likely have to step into an expanded role in Baker's absence.
