The Arizona Cardinals continue to deal with unfortunate injuries to key players. The latest is safety Budda Baker.
According to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport, Baker is going to miss some games with an ankle injury.
He played in 72 of the Cardinals’ 73 defensive snaps in Sunday’s 31-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after being questionable to play with an ankle injury.
According to Rapoport, Bakwer has a high ankle sprain and will miss at least two to three weeks. That is the hope, at least.
The Cardinals play the Rams, 49ers and Chargers over the next three weeks before they have their bye week.
The only other safeties on the roster are Jalen Thompson and Chris Banjo. Charles Washington is on injured reserve and has been close to returning.
We might see Banjo starting if Washington can come back, or we might see Isaiah Simmons in a more extended role at safety as the Cardinals prepare for their next three games.
