Patriots rookie receiver Javon Baker recently addressed a controversial live video on his Instagram account where he was seen yelling at a police officer who gave him a ticket at Logan Airport. Despite facing disciplinary actions from the Patriots, Baker will not miss any games as a result of the incident. In an interview with Pro Football Network, Baker expressed that he does not regret the video and believes he has already taken the necessary steps to address any concerns.
Head coach Jerod Mayo stated that the organization does not condone Baker’s behavior and that they have handled the matter internally, emphasizing the importance of representing the team professionally. Despite the controversy, Baker has shown promise during the preseason, making several impressive catches and securing a spot on the 53-man roster. However, he will need to demonstrate more consistency in his performance to become a significant contributor to the offense.
This Sunday’s game against the Bengals will mark Baker’s NFL regular-season debut, offering him a chance to showcase his skills on a bigger stage. While the incident may have raised concerns about Baker’s maturity, the Patriots are hopeful that he will learn from the experience and focus on his development both on and off the field. Stay tuned for updates on Baker’s progress and the Patriots’ upcoming games.
