Cardinals free safety Budda Baker has undergone successful thumb surgery, coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday, but it remains unclear how long he will be sidelined.
It would seem highly unlikely he will be able to play this Sunday when the Cardinals play at the Carolina Panthers, even though Kingsbury wouldn’t rule that completely out when asked if it was a possibility.
“We’re hoping it’s sooner rather than later,” Kingsbury said. “I don’t want to put any timetable on it just yet knowing Budda and the type of super human he is. You never know. But everything went well, so we’re excited about that.
