Let go Sunday
Baker was waived by the Chiefs on Sunday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baker's career has been hampered by injuries each of the last two seasons, possibly limiting the potential of the 2019 first-round selection. He'd fallen down the Chiefs' positional depth chart following the selection of three cornerbacks in the 2022 Draft and the addition of Lonnie Johnson.

Baker was released by the Giants leading up to the 2021 season after he was charged with four counts of robbery with a firearm, but those charges were dropped and he was later signed by the Chiefs. Unfortunately, he managed to log snaps in just a pair of games for Kansas City before suffering a broken femur against the Chargers, ending any chances of him contributing in the postseason.
