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 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.
The Titans announced Saturday that Baker (personal) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, John Glennon of NashvillePost.com reports. Baker, who Tennessee acquired via trade Wednesday from the Seahawks in exchange for linebacker Ernest Jones, is likely not yet caught up enough on his new defensive scheme to contribute. His next chance to make his Titans debut will come Week 9 versus the Patriots.
Seattle traded Baker to Tennessee along with a fourth-round draft pick Wednesday in exchange for linebacker Ernest Jones, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Baker had been performing relatively well as the Seahawks' second starting inside linebacker alongside Tyrel Dodson, but now he'll have to find his footing with a new squad. His primary competition for snaps in Tennessee will probably be Kenneth Murray (shoulder).
Baker registered seven tackles (three solo), including one for loss, and defensed a pass in Thursday's Week 6 loss to the 49ers. Baker wasn't nearly as prolific as in Week 5, when he tallied 14 tackles against the Giants, but he was nonetheless tied for second on the team in stops against San Francisco. The veteran linebacker missed Week 3 and Week 4 due to a hamstring injury but has played all but one of Seattle's defensive snaps over the past two games. Baker has recorded 30 tackles (16 solo), including 1.0 sacks, overall through four contests on the campaign.
Baker recorded 14 total tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 29-20 loss to the Giants. Baker had a monster day against New York, leading the team in tackles while securing his first sack of the year, bringing down Daniel Jones in the fourth quarter. The linebacker also forced a fumble in the first quarter, stripping New York running back Eric Gray as he attempted to cross the goal line, which ultimately ended up with the ball being returned for a 100-yard touchdown by teammate Rayshawn Jenkins. Baker has now compiled 23 total tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also notching a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over three games in 2024.
Baker (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Corbin K. Smith of SI.com reports. Baker had missed the Seahawks last two contests due to a hamstring injury, but he was able to practice in a limited fashion both Wednesday and Thursday. The first-year Seahawk will rejoin Tyrel Dodson as part of Seattle's top inside linebacker duo in Week 5.
The Seahawks deemed Baker (hamstring) as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. Baker injured his hamstring against New England in Week 2 and missed Seattle's subsequent two games. He did manage to logged a limited practice session this past Saturday, so there's a chance he will return for Sunday's Week 5 matchup versus the Giants. The Seahawks held a walkthrough Wednesday since they played two days earlier on Monday Night Football, and Baker's status should gain more clarity with his level of participation in practice Thursday and Friday.
Baker (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game against the Lions. The starting inside linebacker also missed the team's Week 3 game against the Dolphins. Baker signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in March and recorded nine tackles in Seattle's first two contests of 2024. Tyrice Knight is in line to play in Baker's place.
