Cardinals' Budda Baker: Only two stops in Week 7 loss
Baker logged two tackles (one solo) during Sundays' 30-16 loss to Denver.
Baker was cleared to play against the Broncos after nursing a groin injury and an illness during Week 7 prep. He was on the field for 59 of the Cardinals' 61 defensive snaps (96.7 percent), but his two stops were a season low. The veteran safety is up to 44 tackles (25 solo), including a career-best 3.5 sacks, and four pass defenses (including one interception) through seven regular-season games.

Baker (groin) is listed as questionable but expected to play against the Broncos on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

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.
