Baker (personal) was placed on the commissioner's exempt list Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
After an alleged incident in Miramar, Fla. in May, both Baker and Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar were arrested, with the former facing four counts of armed robbery and four more counts of aggravated assault with a firearm. A judge granted Baker conditional approval to leave Florida in order to report for training camp with the Giants in New Jersey, but now the 2019 first-round pick won't be allowed in team facilities for the foreseeable future. It remains to be seen how his situation plays out in advance of the team's Week 1 matchup with the Steelers.

Baker recorded 61 tackles (48 solo) and eight defended passes across 16 games in 2019.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie first-round pick handled a starting role at cornerback in his debut season, and his on-field results were mixed at best. Baker will likely handle a starting gig again in 2020, but he hasn't yet demonstrated the big-play upside necessary to become a high end IDP asset.

Baker (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Baker worked as a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday due to the knee issue, but the injury won't impact his availability for the season finale. The 22-year-old will look to finish the season strong versus a depleted Philadelphia receiving corps.

Baker was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Baker wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, a hint that his knee issue could have been sustained during weekly practices. There's not yet any reason to worry that the starting cornerback is in danger of missing Sunday's divisional tilt against the Eagles, and if he manages to practice fully Friday it'll dissuade any lingering concerns.
