Budda Baker Suffers High-Ankle Sprain
2 years agoArizona Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. The hope is that Baker can return in two or three weeks, based on the severity of his ankle sprain. It's a big blow to the Cardinals defense and for fantasy managers that have been rolling with Baker as their starting defensive back all year. After nine weeks, the 26-year-old ranks 15th in overall fantasy points among defensive backs. He led the team with 11 combined tackles on Sunday and has 71 tackles (46 solo), two QB hits, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in nine games in 2022. The Cardinals could ask linebacker Isaiah Simmons to shift to safety for as long as the four-time Pro Bowler is out of action.
