Chiefs Defense Loses Deandre Baker For Playoffs
4 years agoKansas City Chiefs cornerback Deandre Baker (leg), who broke his femur in gruesome fashion in the Week 17 loss to the Chargers, had successful surgery on Monday, according to head coach Andy Reid. Baker played in just two games all season and got some run on Sunday in a meaningless game with the Chiefs having already locked up first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The former first-round pick of the Giants (30th overall) in 2019, Baker has 66 combined tackles, nine passes defensed and one sack in his first 18 games. Kansas City's secondary will be a little short-handed depth-wise as they enter the playoffs in defense of their Super Bowl title from a year ago.
