Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl safety Budda Baker was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday’s injury report after working through a concussion and thumb injury.
Baker missed practice last week and did not suit up in Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he cleared concussion protocol ahead of Arizona’s season finale on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Sunday’s loss was the only game Baker has missed over the past two seasons.
Edge rusher Josh Sweat was a nonparticipant for the second straight day due to an ankle/knee injury designation. Sweat has not missed a game this year but has been banged up as of late, playing 20% of defensive snaps over the past two games.
Wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) has already been ruled out, and safety Kitan Crawford (ankle) was placed on injured reserve on Thursday.
For the Rams, wide receiver Davante Adams was limited with a hamstring injury after a nonparticipant listing on Wednesday. He has missed the past two games with the ailment.
Los Angeles (11-5) is locked into a Wild Card spot in the NFC, as the only thing on the table is whether the Rams end up with the fifth or sixth seed.
They will know if there is a chance on Saturday night, as a Seahawks win over the 49ers paired with a Rams win would move L.A. up to face the NFC South winner in the opening round, which is an incentive. A 49ers win would deem Sunday’s game for the Rams meaningless in terms of the standings.
