News

  • Eagles' leading tackler in win

    Baun recorded 12 tackles (eight solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 37-17 win at Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Baun's forced fumble came late in the fourth quarter and was recovered by fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean to essentially put Sunday's win on ice. He's in the midst of a career year and is a great IDP option going into a Week 9 showdown versus the Jaguars.

  • Returns to practice Thursday

    Baun (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session.

    Analysis: Baun injured his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Giants, which kept him out of Wednesday's practice. It doesn't appear to be a serious injury, however, as Baun was able to practice without limitations Thursday. Barring any setbacks, the 2020 third-round pick should be good to go against the Bengals on Sunday. Baun leads the Eagles with 57 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Baun (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Baun injured his shoulder during the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Giants, and he finished the contest with six tackles (four solo). The 2020 third-round pick will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals. Baun is up to a team-leading 57 combined tackles through the first six games of the regular season.

  • Dealing with shoulder injury

    Baun is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a shoulder injury.

    Analysis: Baun logged six tackles (four solo) before leaving in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. The Eagles have a large lead midway through the final quarter, so Baun may be kept out for the remainder of the contest. Jeremiah Trotter and Ben VanSumeren are candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Nakobe Dean while Baun is sidelined.

  • Double-digit tackles vs. Saints

    Baun recorded 13 total tackles (nine solo) during Sunday's 15-12 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Baun has had an impressive start to his Eagles tenure, recording 37 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across Philadelphia's first three games. The Wisconsin product ranks second in the NFL in total tackles thus far, trailing only Nick Cross, who has 39 stops. Expect Baun to continue being a tackling machine and an extremely valuable IDP asset as the season progresses.

  • Monster night in Brazil

    Baun compiled 15 total tackles (11 solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Friday's 34-29 win over the Packers in Brazil.

    Analysis: Baun had quite the debut with the Eagles after signing with the team in March, leading Philadelphia in tackles. The 2.0 sacks matched his career total over his four years with New Orleans. With Devin White (ankle) unavailable, Baun took on some added workload at interior linebacker and made the most of his opportunity.

  • Working with first team

    Baun worked with Philadelphia's first-team defense for the fourth day in a row Monday, Brandon Lee Gowton of BGN Radio reports.

    Analysis: Baun agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles earlier this offseason, and it now appears that he's got a real chance to start at inside linebacker. The 2020 third-round pick out of Wisconsin started just 14 games during his four seasons in New Orleans, but it seems that he is winning the positional battle against Nakobe Dean and could be lining up alongside Devin White in the Eagles' linebacker corps in 2024.

  • Heading to Philly

    Baun and the Eagles agreed on a one-year contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Baun will head to Philadelphia after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Saints. The linebacker recorded 30 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while adding an interception among two passes defensed over 17 games in 2023.

  • Uptick in playing time

    Baun recorded 30 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, and one interception across 17 games in the 2023 regular season.

    Analysis: Baun saw a career high in defensive snaps (292) while continuing to play a primary role on special teams (381). The 2020 third-round pick has been a core special-teamer since his first year with the Saints, but he's yet to log more than 30 tackles in a single season. Baun is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Participating in OTAs

    Baun (ankle) participated in the Saints' OTAs on Tuesday, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

    Analysis: Baun was placed on injured reserve in December due to an ankle injury but is now back in action. The 26-year-old recorded 16 tackles (11 solo) in 13 games last season and could be in line to start at strong-side linebacker for the Saints heading into the upcoming campaign.

  • Going to IR

    New Orleans placed Baun (ankle) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Analysis: Baun will have to sit out for the remainder of the regular season as he recovers from an ankle injury he sustained in Week 13 at Tampa Bay. The Saints will probably be forced to lean more heavily on Kaden Elliss at linebacker in the absence of the 2020 third-rounder.

  • Out for Week 15

    Baun (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Baun suffered the injury during the team's Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers. Even coming off a bye, he was unable to practice in any capacity during the week and is set to miss his first game of the camapaign. Kaden Elliss should be locked into a significant role in Baun's absence.

  • Forced out Monday

    Baun was ruled out after going down with an ankle injury in Monday's game against the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Baun was able to walk off under his own power while heading into the medical tent on New Orleans' sideline in the first half, according to Hendrix. While the nature of this injury is still unclear, the 25-year-old will have extra time to recover while the Saints are on bye Week 14. With starting linebacker Pete Werner (ankle) once again inactive, Andrew Dowell and Nephi Sewell will likely take on bigger roles for the remainder of this divisional matchup.

  • Getting starting opportunity

    Baun will start at outside linebacker against the Steelers on Sunday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Baun will draw the start with Pete Werner (ankle) inactive. The former has only played 17 snaps on defense this season, which all took place after Werner exited Monday's loss to the Ravens.

  • Sheds injury

    Baun (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Baun wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, so it's clear he's back to full health. The third-year pro is primed to handle a depth role during Sunday's regular-season opener in Atlanta.

  • Dealing with a hamstring injury

    Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Tuesday that Baun is dealing with a hamstring injury, Ross Jackson of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Baun logged five tackles during the Saints' preseason opener and looks good in his new role as weak-side linebacker. The 2020 third-round pick will likely find himself in a rotation with second-round rookie Pete Werner (leg), but that could change if Werner continues to miss time.

  • Looking good in new role

    Baun logged five tackles, including one tackle for loss, and a pass deflection during Saturday's preseason opener against the Ravens.

    Analysis: After playing on the strong side during his rookie year, Baun seemed to be a more natural fit at weak-side linebacker during last weekend's preseason opener. While he may not be much of an IDP prospect as long as he has to rotate with Kwon Alexander and second-round rookie Pete Werner (leg), that could change if Werner continues to miss time and/or something happens to Alexander, who's bouncing back from an Achilles injury that ended his 2020 campaign.

  • Shifting to weakside linebacker

    Baun will compete for the starting job at weakside linebacker in training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: The 2020 third-round pick worked on the strongside as a rookie but played only 82 defensive snaps. Baun could earn a larger role in 2021 with a strong showing in camp, though Demario Davis should remain the leader of the unit.

    Published: Tue, Jun 8 at 9:45pm by Rotowire.com

  • Totals 12 tackles

    Baun totaled 12 tackles over 15 games in 2020.

    Analysis: With veterans Demario Davis, Alex Anzalone and eventually Kwon Alexander logging the vast majority of available snaps at linebacker, Baun did well to become a regular contributor on special teams during his rookie year. Should the Saints free up over $13 million in cap space by parting ways with Alexander this offseason, there's a solid chance he could make a bigger impact on defense in 2021.
