Former NFL defensive tackle Chris Baker is recovering from a stroke he suffered last week.
Per TMZ Sports, Baker's mother said her son is expected to make a full recovery after undergoing emergency surgery following a "serious" stroke on Friday.
TMZ noted she said doctors have stated Baker responded to the stroke as if it were minor, calling his recovery a "miracle."
In a post on his Instagram Stories, Baker showed himself in the hospital standing up on his own and moving around with a walker. It also included messages from some of his friends wishing him well.
