Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (illness) was added to the team’s injury report Sunday morning and is questionable for the Week 15 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, the team announced.
If Baker does miss the game, which kicks off at 2:05 p.m., it will be his first missed game since the Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Including his Week 1 game and every matchup since returning, Baker has played all of the defensive snaps.
In every game but one since returning, he recorded at least six tackles and as many as 10 tackles twice. He has added three tackles for loss over that span as well.

If he is again named to the Pro Bowl this season, it will be his sixth appearance in seven NFL seasons. He also has two First Team All-Pro appearances and one Second Team appearance. In 2019, he led the league with 104 solo tackles.
