The Wild Card Game between the Cardinals and the Rams had to be delayed briefly because of a scary injury to Budda Baker.

Budda Baker injury update: Cardinals DB out with a concussion
Baker was loaded onto a cart and taken in an ambulance to the hospital for additional evaluation.
The Cardinals announced that Baker will not return to the game with a concussion. The best of all possible news was added: “ has full use of all his extremities.”
When it comes to these kinds of injuries involving the head and neck, it’s a huge relief to know Baker was able to move his arms and legs. Now the concern seems focused in on the concussion.
Here’s how it all happened:
Though Akers initially appeared to taunt Baker on the ground, the running back circled back to check on the safety once it became clear that he was injured.
Players from both teams surrounded Baker as he was carted off the field.
Every single player on the Cardinals and the majority from the Rams left the bench to go check on Budda Baker.
That’s the kind of respect and love he has from his team and opponents. 🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/SOsfgo51xO
