Budda Baker had to be carried off the field after scary collision • FootballR

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker was carried off the field after colliding with running back Cam Akers in the third quarter of the 34-11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Baker was hit hard in the head trying to stop Akers on a run near the end zone.

Arizona took Baker out for the rest of the game with a concussion. According to ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, the defender could move and feel his extremities.

Several players rallied around Baker on the field while he was treated and some seemed to have an issue with Akers, who seemed to mock the collapsed defender after the play.

Akers tweeted his support for Baker minutes after the game’s final whistle, adding he didn’t know the defender was injured.

Prays up to Budda 🙏🏾 . I didn’t know he was hurt after the play but I have nothing but respect for him .

According to ESPN, Baker was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
