Budda Baker is on the mend.
There was a very scary situation last night as Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers lowered his head and smashed into the helmet of Budda Baker on the Cardinals.
Baker immediately went down and could not get up, which led to immediate medical attention. While Akers taunted Baker at first, he was simply unaware of the situation.
