Baker (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Baker was a full participant in each of the last two practices of the week, and his lack of an injury designation indicates that he has cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game. Baker should have a larger role in the Titans' secondary following Roger McCreary's trade to the Rams on Monday.

Baker (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Baker was able to practice without restriction Thursday, but he will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist in order to be removed from the league's concussion protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Baker could have a more prominent role in Tennessee's defense for the second half of the regular season after the Titans traded Roger McCreary to the Rams on Monday.

Baker (head) won't practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker exited the Titans' Week 8 loss to the Colts in the third quarter after taking a hit to the head, but interim head coach Mike McCoy didn't give an update on his condition. The Georgia Southern product likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday in order to play in Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Baker is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
EDGE Analysis
Baker appeared to take a hit to the head in the third quarter, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Samuel Womack could see some rotational snaps at corner if Baker is unable to return.

Baker (undisclosed) returned to practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of Titans.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After leaving Tuesday's practice early, Baker was back to full participation Wednesday. Training camp practices have afforded the 27-year-old his first taste of on-field work this offseason, as he was still recovering from shoulder surgery during minicamp.

Baker (shoulder) was sidelined for Tennessee's minicamp session Tuesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker is still recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent earlier in the offseason but is expected to be back in time for training camp. The 27-year-old racked up 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass deflections in 17 games for the Titans last season and should serve as one of the team's top depth corners during the upcoming campaign.

Baker tallied 40 tackles (32 solo) and five pass defenses over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
EDGE Analysis
The Titans claimed Baker off waivers in late August after he was let go by the Colts at the end of training camp. He was mostly used on special teams over the Titans' first five games of the regular season, but he was thrust in a starting role in Week 7 due to injuries to L'Jarius Sneed (quadriceps) and Chidobe Awuzie. Baker is an exclusive rights free agent, which means he wouldn't be able to negotiate a contract with another team if the Titans extend a qualifying offer to the third-year corner.

Baker will be a healthy scratch Sunday against Baltimore, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker began the season as a starting cornerback but has struggled the first two games. Rookie 2023 second-round draft pick JuJu Brents is active for his first NFL game and could play a large role in the secondary.
