Baker was sent to the IR after Week 1 with a hamstring injury. He will practice today for the first time since early August.

Without Budda on the field, the Cardinals defense has faced some obvious struggles defending the passing game.

So far this season, the Cards are in the bottom 5 in yards allowed and have given up an average of 27 points per game.
