Whiffs with chance at safety Barnes recorded five tackles (three solo) in Saturday's 20-19 loss at Dallas.

Impact Barnes looked like he was more or less back to his old self in his return from his shoulder injury, racking up tackles at a rate similar to what he had the rest of the season up to Week 17. However, he'll probably remember Saturday's game for a tackle he didn't make, when he came in unblocked on a blitz and missed a clear shot at Dak Prescott in the Cowboys' end zone. Barnes' missed opportunity for a safety turned into a 92-yard catch and run for CeeDee Lamb, which was arguably the difference in a one-point loss. Detroit hosts the Vikings in Week 18.

Inactive as expected Barnes (shoulder) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Barnes suffered a shoulder injury in the Lions' Week 15 win over the Broncos, and he was listed as doubtful after a week of limited practice sessions, so it's no surprise that he'll miss the team's Christmas Eve divisional contest. Jalen Reeves-Maybin is expected to see more work in Detroit's linebacker corps with Barnes missing time.

Good to go Barnes (knee) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game versus the Panthers.

Impact Barnes has been sidelined for the Lions' previous two games while nursing a knee injury. However, he logged limited workloads at practice all this week and appears to be ready to return to his usual role, assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Questionable for Saturday Barnes (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Barnes has missed the last two games while dealing with a knee injury, though it appears he could be in line to return after returning to practice in a limited fashion Week 16. The second-year linebacker has recorded 39 tackles, one sack and one pass defended over 12 games this season, and he'll likely return to a rotational role alongside Malcolm Rodriguez and Alex Anzalone when healthy again.

Out again Barnes (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Barnes couldn't practice in any capacity during the week and is now set for his second consecutive absence. The Lions used a committee to account for Barnes' absence in Week 14, and that seems to be the most likely outcome again against the Jets.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Barnes (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Vikings.

Impact Barnes didn't practice at all during Week 14 prep due to a knee injury he presumably suffered in Week 13, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. In Barnes' absence, James Houston, Anthony Pittman and Chris Board are candidates for increased snaps.

Seven stops in massive win Barnes recorded seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 31-18 victory versus the Giants.

Impact Barnes logged his third-best tackling performance of the season as the Lions rolled over the Giants in Week 11. While the linebacker did the majority of his work on defense (36 snaps), he also added one solo tackle over his 14 special-teams snaps. After playing just 88 defensive snaps and totaling 13 tackles over the first seven weeks of the season, Barnes has totaled 21 tackles while playing 119 of his 137 snaps on defense over the past three weeks.

Leads big defensive effort Barnes recorded 12 tackles (four solo), including one sack, and added one pass defensed in the Week 9 15-9 win over Green Bay.

Impact Detroit's defense stymied Aaron Rodgers and the Packers all afternoon, and Barnes played a big part in that, more than doubling his previous season high with 12 stops. He also registered his first sack of the campaign when he brought down Rodgers after Green Bay had passed midfield late in the second quarter. Barnes played on 67 percent of the Lions' defensive snaps in the victory, by far his highest number so far this season.
