The Arizona Cardinals are activating safety Budda Baker from injured reserve, the team announced Saturday.

Baker is expected to play against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

The 27-year-old has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. He hasn't played since the club's Week 1 loss to the Washington Commanders.

Baker returns against a Seattle offense that's averaging 332.6 yards and 24.8 points per game.

Baker, a five-time Pro Bowler, has racked up at least 98 tackles every year since the 2018 campaign. The Washington product owns seven interceptions, 34 pass deflections, six forced fumbles, and 655 total tackles in 94 career games.
