Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker and rookie cornerback Garrett Williams are both active for the team’s Week 7 tilt against the Seattle Seahawks.

Both had practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week.

In addition to the pair, linebacker Josh Woods, cornerback Kei’Trel Clark and defensive lineman Kevin Strong are active after entering Sunday as questionable.

Baker is expected to resume his role in the secondary and as one of Arizona’s key leaders on the field.
