AJ Barner - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Tending to calf issue Barner was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a calf injury, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Impact Barner has earned at least an 80 percent snap share in six of eight games this season, but the cumulative results in the box score (21 catches for 236 yards on 26 targets) have been tepid aside from his penchant for getting in the end zone, which he's done four times. He'll have two more opportunities to get back to full this week, or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Cardinals.

Scores in blowout win Barner caught three of four targets for 24 yards and rushed once for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Commanders.

Impact Barner took a direct snap in the third quarter and rushed into the end zone to extend the Seahawks' lead to 38-7. The second-year pro continues to operate as the clear No. 1 tight end, as he played 43 of 51 offensive snaps (84 percent) and finished tied for second on the team in targets. Barner has scored five touchdowns through eight games, but he has averaged just 29.5 receiving yards per game.

Barn Show! AJ Barner Takes The Snap In For A Rushing TD Seattle Seahawks tight end AJ Barner rushes for a 1-yard touchdown in the second half of the Week 9 matchup against the Commanders.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • SEAHAWKS.COM

Held to one catch Barner caught one pass (three targets) for seven yards in Monday's 27-19 win over the Texans.

Impact There has been little room for targets this season behind lead wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but Barner has served as the top tight end with 18 catches for 212 yards (third on the team) and four touchdowns (tied for first). Barner continues to impress as a blocker and should maintain a high snap count as a result. He needs to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy purposes, though.

Long catch and run Sunday Barner secured all three targets for 71 yards in the Seahawks' 20-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Barner finished in the relatively unfamiliar position of second in receiving yardage and tied with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the longest reception of the game. That catch covered a distance of 61 yards on the first play of Seattle's game-clinching drive, with Barner getting loose down the middle of the field after the catch and taking the ball down to the Jaguars' 12-yard line. Barner has now set new single-game season highs in receiving yards in three consecutive contests, but he's typically much more of a shorter-area target for Sam Darnold and will remain a complementary pass-catching option in a tough Week 7 home matchup against the Texans on Monday night, Oct. 20.
