Saints wide receiver Kawaan Baker will reportedly miss the first six games of the 2022 NFL season due to violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances, according to ESPN’s Field Yates.
Baker, who was drafted in the seventh round of 2021 NFL draft, has not decided whether he plans to appeal the NFL’s decision, per nola.com. Despite his six-game suspension from regular season games, Baker will still be able to participate in the Saints preseason games and practices.
The Saints first six games of the ’22 season include the Falcons, Buccaneers, Panthers, Vikings, Seahawks and Bengals. If Baker makes New Orleans’s initial 53-man roster, he can become active for the regular season ahead of the Saints’ Week 7 road matchup against the Cardinals.
