Giants’ hopeful DeAndre Baker returns amid knee injury scare

Eight days later, DeAndre Baker was back on the practice field.

The rookie cornerback, who survived an ACL scare, returned to take part in individual drills, though he was held out of team drills.

“I feel good,” he said Monday. “It was very important to get out there, move around again, do some individual work.”

There are high hopes for the first-round pick (30th overall) out of Georgia who had been working with the first team opposite Janoris Jenkins before hurting his knee. The Giants traded up to get the 5-foot-11 Baker, sending the Seahawks their second-round pick at No.
