The only Arizona Cardinals player selected to the Pro Bowl this season was safety Budda Baker. It was the fifth time he was named to the squad and the fourth year in a row as a safety.

However, he suffered a fractured shoulder in the final games of the season.

That will not stop him from participating in the Pro Bowl Games.

He participated in the Lighting Round on Thursday as part of the NFC group of players who competed in a water balloon toss.

He will also play in the flag football game on Sunday.

Injuries didn’t keep Baker out of action except for the season finale. The shoulder, which will be good to go before the offseason program begins in April, won’t keep him from playing a friendly game of flag football against other all-star players.
