The Arizona Cardinals is getting both safety Budda Baker and rookie cornerback Garrett Williams back for a big divisional matchup.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cardinals have activated both players for Sunday's Week 7 battle against the Seattle Seahawks.
Baker, a sixth-year player and starter out of Washington, has been on the Reserve/Injured list since September 18. Baker suffered a hamstring injury in Week 2 and was designated to return exactly one month later.
Williams, the 72nd overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, has been on the Non-Football Injury list for Arizona since the start of training camp in late July. He was designated to return on October 4, and two weeks of practice were enough for the team to officially add him to the roster.
Both players are expected to be active in Seattle, which is where Baker is from. The two-time All-Pro had hoped to get back on the field to face his hometown team.
It's a huge game for Williams as well. The rookie will make his NFL debut and get his first taste of action since tearing his ACL nearly one year ago during his final year at Syracuse.
The Cardinals need all the help they can get in the defensive backfield against the Seahawks, who sport the 12th-best passing offense by EPA/drop back and fourth-best by success rate per drop back.
