Baker tests ankle
Reserve safety Rashad Baker spent about 10 minutes on the field with head athletic trainer Jim Whalen, testing his injured ankle. That probably means Baker entered the day as a game-time decision.
If Baker is not healthy enough to play today, it would have the most impact on special teams units. Baker is a regular on coverage teams.
In terms of the regular defense, he had been a part of the dime unit (six defensive backs) up until last week, when he was replaced by rookie Brandon Meriweather.
