The Arizona Cardinals will activate safety Budda Baker and he is expected to play Sunday against the host Seattle Seahawks, the NFL Network reported Saturday.

Baker has been on injured reserve with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. He was limited in practice Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Baker, 27, suffered a severe hamstring injury in the Cardinals’ season opener against Washington. The five-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro had missed just five games since being drafted by the Cardinals in 2017, including the final two games of the 2022 season with a shoulder injury.

He has 655 tackles, seven interceptions and 7.5 sacks in 94 games (84 starts), including just one game this season when he made five tackles.
