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.

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.

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.
