News

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Baker (knee/illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Baker was bombarded with back luck this week, sustaining both a knee injury and illness that threatened to take his playing eligibility for Sunday. Evidently the starting cornerback was able to persevere, and he will look to continue the trend of playing 100 percent of snaps for the Titans' defense for a third consecutive week.

  • Dealing with illness

    Baker, who is questionable to play Sunday against Seattle, is managing an illness as well as a knee injury, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Baker popped up on Tennessee's injury report Wednesday due to a knee issue. The illness was added on Friday's report, and Baker was deemed questionable for Sunday. Baker has played every defensive snap for the Titans over their past two games, so the team will have to turn to another player to start if he's unable to suit up against the Seahawks.

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Baker (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Baker played 100 percent of snaps in Week 11 against Houston and recorded a career-high 12 tackles, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. He'll have two days to increase his participation to prepare for a Week 12 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Career-high 12 stops vs. Houston

    Baker posted 12 tackles (nine solo) and a pass defense during the Titans' 16-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Baker entered Week 11 having not recorded more than five tackles through nine regular-season games, but he was far busier during Sunday's AFC South tilt and finished with a game-high 12 stops. Baker has stepped into a larger role in the Titans' secondary over the team's last four games, a development that's coincided with L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) being placed on injured reserve and Roger McCreary being traded to the Rams, both which took place in late October.

  • Clears concussion protocol

    Baker (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Baker was a full participant in each of the last two practices of the week, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. Baker should have a larger role in the Titans' secondary following Roger McCreary's trade to the Rams on Monday.

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Baker (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Baker was able to practice without restriction Thursday, but he will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be removed from the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Baker could have a more prominent role in Tennessee's defense for the second half of the regular season after the Titans traded Roger McCreary to the Rams on Monday.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Baker (head) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Baker exited the Titans' Week 8 loss to the Colts in the third quarter after taking a hit to the head, but interim head coach Mike McCoy didn't give an update on his condition. The Georgia Southern product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

  • Possible concussion

    Baker is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Baker appeared to take a hit to the head in the third quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Samuel Womack could see some rotational snaps at corner if Baker is unable to return.

  • Back at practice

    Baker (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of Titans.com reports.

    Analysis: After leaving Tuesday's practice early, Baker was back to full participation Wednesday. Training camp practices have afforded the 27-year-old his first taste of on-field work this offseason, as he was still recovering from shoulder surgery during minicamp.

  • Out for minicamp

    Baker (shoulder) was sidelined for Tennessee's minicamp session Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

    Analysis: Baker is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery but is expected to be back in time for training camp. The 27-year-old racked up 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass deflections in 17 games for the Titans last season and should serve as one of the team's top depth corners during the upcoming campaign.

  • Starts nine games in 2024

    Baker tallied 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass defenses over 17 regular-season games in 2024.

    Analysis: The Titans claimed Baker off waivers in late August after he was let go by the Colts at the end of training camp. He was mostly used on special teams over the Titans' first five games of the regular season, but he was thrust in a starting role in Week 7 due to injuries to L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) and Chidobe Awuzie. Baker is an exclusive rights free agent, which means he wouldn't be able to negotiate a contract with another team if the Titans extend a qualifying offer to the third-year…read more

  • Back in starting lineup

    Baker had three total tackles in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Baker has moved back into the starting lineup due to the season-ending injury to Dallis Flowers (Achilles) and with JuJu Brents missing the last four games with a quad injury. After struggling to begin the season, Baker has improved in coverage the last three games by allowing eight of 13 passes targeted at him to go for a relatively modest 62 yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

  • Healthy scratch Sunday

    Baker will be a healthy scratch Sunday against Baltimore, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Baker began the season as a starting cornerback but has struggled the first two games. Rookie 2023 second-round draft pick JuJu Brents is active for his first NFL game and could play a large role in the secondary.

  • Struggles in start at cornerback

    Baker started at cornerback and had four tackles in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Baker had a strong training camp and emerged as a surprise starter with 2023 second-round draft pick Julius Brents struggling during the preseason. Baker struggled in coverage during his debut, however, by allowing four receptions on six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown, according to Pro Football Focus. He'll need to improve to keep his starting role.
