In mix for starting role Barnes is expected to compete for a starting role at linebacker in 2022, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact With Alex Anzalone and Jalen Reeves-Maybin scheduled for unrestricted free agency next month, Barnes and Josh Woods technically enter the offseason atop the depth chart at inside linebacker. However, the 2021 fourth-round pick may have a stronger hold on his perch than the undrafted Woods, who has 20 fewer tackles through four years than Barnes racked up during his rookie season alone.
