Goes on IR
Baker (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Baker suffered a fractured shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, and he had already been ruled out for the remainder of the season. So, his move to IR was just a formality at this point. Chris Banjo will now likely step up and play an increased role to close out the season, while Baker will prepare to be ready to play in 2023.

2017
Baker was the clear DB1 from 2018 to 2020, producing at a 1,000-snap pace of 119 tackles,
which made his 98 tackles on 982 snaps last year unexpected and disappointing. The question
is whether 2021 was a fluke or the start of a new era. The Cardinals do have two young LBs
who are more toolsy than refined (Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins), so Baker might need to
clean up more tackles this year.
