Healthy for Sunday
Baker (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's matchup against the Bills. Baker was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, and he's now cleared to return for the Patriots' Week 16 away game. The rookie wide receiver and kick returner likely will keep operating from the special teams unit for New England as he did before he suffered his concussion.
Logs full practice Thursday
Baker (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Baker was limited in Wednesday's practice, and his upgrade to full participation Thursday indicates that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocols. Another full practice Friday would put him in a good spot to be cleared to play in Sunday's AFC East clash against the Bills.
Limited to open week
Baker (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Baker was sidelined for the Patriots' Week 15 loss to the Cardinals due to a concussion. He was able to return to practice Wednesday, and he'll have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to play against the Bills on Sunday. The rookie fourth-round pick has failed to register a catch over the first eight regular-season games of his NFL career.
Won't play Sunday
Baker (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Baker likely sustained a concussion in Patriots' Week 13 loss to the Colts and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up in Week 15. Expect New England's wide receiver room to consist of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne and Ja'Lynn Polk while Baker is sidelined Sunday.
Absent from practice Thursday
Baker (concussion) is not practicing Thursday, Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com reports. Baker remains in the five-step concussion protocol following New England's bye, and he has yet to progress to stage which would allow him to resume handling restricted practice reps. The rookie fourth-round pick, who has yet to record a reception across eight regular-season appearances, looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
DNP with concussion
Baker (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Baker played two offensive snaps in Week 13 against the Colts ahead of New England's bye last week. It's unclear when he was concussed. Yet to catch a pass this season, Baker has returned three kickoffs for 79 yards.
Active versus Jets
Baker is active for Sunday's game against the Jets. With Ja'Lynn Polk (concussion) inactive, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, K.J. Osborn, Tyquan Thorntonand Baker are available to handle the Patriots' Week 8 wideout duties. Baker is off the fantasy radar, however, until he logs steady snaps and production in New England's offense.
Not on injury report
Baker (illness) isn't listed on the Patriots' Week 8 injury report. An illness led to Baker missing practice this past Friday, and the wideout ended up being made inactive for the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Jaguars. While the 2024 fourth-rounder has moved past his illness, he's not a lock to be in uniform Sunday against the Jets, given that he was a healthy scratch Weeks 5 and 6.
Not playing Week 7
Baker (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. Baker had been listed as questionable heading into the weekend after an illness kept him from practicing Friday. While it's not clear if Baker is still under the weather, even if he was fully healthy, he wouldn't necessarily be a good bet to suit up Sunday. The rookie fourth-round pick had been a healthy inactive for both of New England's previous two contests.
