If New Orleans Saints receiver Kawaan Baker makes the initial 53-man roster, he’ll have to wait a while before he can participate.

Baker was handed a six-game suspension by the NFL Tuesday for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances. It is not yet clear if Baker plans to appeal.

Baker can participate in all preseason practices and games, and will be allowed to return to the Saints’ active roster following the team’s Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Saints selected Baker in the seventh round of the 2021 draft. The South Alabama product has appeared in two games as a rookie, both strictly in a special teams role.
Baker has spent most of his NFL career on the Saints practice squad, and is facing an uphill climb to secure a roster spot in 2022 after the Saints revamped their receiver room in the offseason.
