May practice this week Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday the the Cardinals may designate Baker (hamstring) to return from injured reserve this week, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Impact Baker injured his hamstring during Week 2 prep and wasn't placed on IR ahead of the ensuing contest, so he was required to sit out at least Weeks 3-6 after the Cardinals made the IR move official the following Monday. Now that he's sat out those four games, he's eligible to return to practice this week, but Gannon only left that door open a crack. Whenever he's cleared for game action, Baker will resume his role as Arizona's starting free safety.
