Baker tallied six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense during the Titans' 20-13 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. Baker missed the Titans' last three games due to a neck injury, but he was able to return Sunday and saw a heavy workload on defense. He registered his second sack of the season when he took down Mac Jones midway through the fourth quarter, though the Jaguars still managed to score two plays later on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jones to rookie Brian Thomas. Baker has appeared in four games for Tennessee since being traded by Seattle in late October, and over that span he has totaled 23 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defense.

Baker (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday versus Cincinnati. Baker missed last Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville due to a neck issue but logged three full practices this week. He didn't have an injury designation going into the weekend, but the veteran linebacker nonetheless won't return for Sunday's Week 15 matchup. Cedric Gray or James Williams will likely step into a starting role in Baker's stead.
Baker (neck) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. A neck injury kept Baker out of action this past Sunday against the Jaguars, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday suggests a return is likely on the horizon. When healthy, Baker has worked as one of Tennessee's starting inside linebackers this season. His return would likely push Luke Gifford -- who started against Jacksonville in Baker's stead -- back to a rotational role.
Baker (neck) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Baker appeared on Thursday's injury report as a DNP due to a neck injury, and after being absent from Friday's practice, the 27-year-old linebacker will be sidelined Sunday for the fifth time this season. The severity of his injury isn't clear, but his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Bengals on Sunday, Dec. 15. With Baker and Kenneth Murray (hamstring) both out Sunday, the Titans will turn to Otis Reese and Luke Gifford as the starting inside linebackers, per Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com.
Baker (neck) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Baker popped up on the Titans' injury report Thursday as a non-participant due to a neck issue. After logging a second DNP on Friday, he appears to be trending toward not playing in Week 14 despite his questionable designation. With Baker, Kenneth Murray (hamstring) and James Williams (knee) all listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup, Otis Reese will likely see increased defensive work in the team's linebacker corps.
Baker (neck) did not practice Thursday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports. Baker wasn't on Wednesday's injury report, indicating that his neck injury was a recent one. Unless he's able to return to practice Thursday, Baker would be in jeopardy of missing the Titans' AFC South clash against the Jaguars on Sunday. The Titans may have to turn to Otis Reese and Cedric Gray to start at inside linebacker Sunday if both Baker and Kenneth Murray (hamstring) are unable to play.
Baker logged six tackles (two solo) during the Titans' loss to the Commanders on Sunday. Baker has now racked up at least five tackles in six of his eight outings this season. The 2018 third-round pick has recorded 17 tackles (nine solo) so far this campaign and will look to add to those numbers during the team's Week 14 matchup versus the Jaguars.
Baker tallied eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Vikings. Baker got his first defensive snaps with the Titans on Sunday, and while he started the day in a rotational role at inside linebacker, he'll likely start alongside Kenneth Murray moving forward after Jack Gibbens suffered a season-ending ankle injury. Across six regular-season games between the Seahawks and Titans, Baker has logged 45 tackles (25 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Baker (personal) was absent from the Titans' injury report Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Baker was held out of the Titans' Week 8 loss to the Lions after being traded from Seattle to Tennessee on Oct. 23. He likely wasn't caught up on Tennessee's defensive scheme in time, but his removal from the injury report Wednesday suggests he'll be making his Titans debut in Week 9, when the team hosts the Patriots.
