  • Two sacks in victory

    Barnett recorded 2.0 sacks in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Barnett was able to get to Justin Herbert twice in the third quarter, sacking the quarterback on back-to-back plays. The defensive lineman has now compiled 3.0 sacks over the last two weeks, and he's up to 5.0 sacks on the season.

  • Good to go Week 8

    Barnett (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Following limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, Barnett logged a full practice Friday. Across six games this season, Barnett has recorded three tackles (one solo) on 29 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Limited by ankle injury

    Barnett was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Barnett logged 27 tackles (21 on defense, six on special teams) without recording a tackle during the Texans' 27-19 loss to the Seahawks on Monday. It appears he picked up an ankle injury in the process, and his practice participation over the next two days will shed light on his chances of playing against the 49ers on Sunday. The 2017 first-rounder has just three tackles (one solo) through six regular-season games.

  • Activated from PUP list

    Barnett (undisclosed) was activated from the active/PUP list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Barnett passed his physical Monday, ultimately returning to practice for the first time since the beginning of training camp. Head coach DeMeco Ryans explained it'll take time for the veteran to get back to game shape, but Barnett will have nearly four weeks to do so before a Week 1 matchup versus the Rams on Sept. 7.

  • Opens training camp on PUP list

    Barnett (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Texans on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Barnett will open camp on the sidelines due to an undisclosed injury, but he'll be eligible to return to practice and play at any point in the preseason. The linebacker re-signed with the Texans in the offseason and once healthy, he'll operate as a solid depth option on the defensive line.

  • Remaining in Houston

    Barnett is slated to re-sign with the Texans on a one-year, $5 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Barnett suited up for 16 regular-season games with Houston in 2024, in which span he racked up 26 tackles (15 solo), including 5.0 sacks, plus two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He also scored on a fumble return Week 11. After having found success as a rotational playmaker behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter, Barnett's decision to run it back with the Texans for 2025 seems sensible for both sides.

  • Solid production in 2024

    Barnett finished the 2024 regular season with 26 total tackles (15 solo), including 5.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 16 games.

    Analysis: Barnett saw a slight uptick in his production in 2024, and scored a pair of touchdowns on fumble recoveries in Week 11 against the Cowboys and Week 18 versus the Titans. Barnett will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and he'll potentially be looking for a new suitor in 2025.

  • Scores on fumble return

    Barnett had one tackle, 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas in Week 11.

    Analysis: On a night when defensive end Will Anderson (ankle) was inactive, Barnett made an impact while filling the void. All of his activity came on one crazy play that proved to be the turning point in the game. Barnett stripped-sacked Cooper Rush. The ensuing fumble was recovered by Dallas offensive lineman Tyler Guyton, who attempted to advance the ball but had it dislodged from his grasp by Jalen Pitre. Re-enter Barnett, who scooped up the fumble on the bounce and went 28 yards untouched for a…read more

  • Suiting up

    Barnett (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Barnett closed the week with a full practice, paving the way for him to suit up in Week 6 and make his return after a one-week absence. The Tennessee product should fill a rotational role on the Texans' defensive line in New England.

  • Questionable after full practice

    Barnett (shoulder) is questionable for Houston's Week 6 matchup against the Patriots after logging a full practice Friday.

    Analysis: Barnett logged a full practice after a DNP on Wednesday and a limited practice Thursday. The 6-foot-3 defensive end sat out last week against the Bills, but his hiatus may cap at one game if he's able to suit up Sunday when the Texans travel to New England.

  • Missing Week 5

    Barnett (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: Barnett likely sustained his shoulder injury during the Texans' Week 4 win over the Jaguars, and he was unable to practice all week. With both Barnett and Jerry Hughes (hip) missing Houston's Week 5 contest, expect Rashad Weaver to serve as the team's top rotational edge rusher.

  • Staying with Houston

    Barnett agreed Wednesday with the Texans on a one-year deal, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: In six regular-season games with the Texans after being claimed off waivers from the Eagles last November, Barnett recorded 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks. Now that he's elected to stay put in Houston in 2024, the 27-year-old will provide Houston with valuable depth at defensive end behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.

  • Lands in Houston

    Barnett was claimed off waivers by the Texans on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Barnett was waived by the Eagles on Friday in the middle of his seventh season with the team. His move to Houston will come after appearing in eight games during the 2023 campaign with Philadelphia, seeing just 88 snaps on defense and recording three tackles.

  • Let go by Philly

    Barnett (ankle) was waived by the Eagles on Friday.

    Analysis: Barnett missed the team's previous two games due to personal reasons. All 73 of Barnett's NFL appearances have come with Philadelphia, but Barnett's decline in production, due in part to the pectoral injury he suffered last season, has led to the Eagles parting ways with him. With three seasons of five-plus sacks under his belt, the 27-year-old defensive end will likely draw some interest from other teams around the league.

  • Ruled out Monday

    Barnett has been ruled out for Philadelphia's matchup with the Chiefs on Monday due to personal reasons.

    Analysis: Barnett missed the team's Week 9 win versus Dallas and will now miss his second straight game, this time due to personal reasons. The Eagles will now find themselves short-handed at defensive end for Monday's game.

  • Participating at practice

    Barnett (knee) has been participating in team drills at practice, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Barnett is returning from an ACL tear suffered in Week 1 of last season. While he was present during June OTAs, he was not a full participant. His presence during team drills now indicates he will be ready when the season kicks off. He is projected to provide depth at defensive end this season.

  • Limited early in camp

    Barnett (knee) was limited Friday as he works his way back from an ACL injury, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Barnett suffered a torn ACL last year in Week 1 against the Lions and spent the rest of the 2022 season on injured reserve. He was present in June OTAs as he went through warmups but was not a full participant. Once healthy, Barnett will compete for a depth spot at defensive end behind Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham.

  • Present at practice

    Barnett (knee) was at practice Thursday warming up, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: Barnett suffered a season-ending torn ACL last year during a Week 1 win over the Lions. The 26-year-old is hopeful to be ready by training camp, although it's not clear when he'll be fully cleared to compete. However, his appearance at practice and ability to warm up should be considered progress in his recovery from the injury.

  • Lands on IR

    Barnett (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

  • Done for season

    Barnett suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Sunday's win over the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Barnett's absence for the remainder of the season will certainly be a blow to the Eagles' defensive line. As regular starter for each of his last three seasons that contributed 14 sacks during that span, his presence will be missed. His absence will likely lead to extra opportunity for second-year pro Tarron Jackson, while also potentially affording more snaps to Josh Sweat.

  • Leaves with injury

    Barnett (knee) is questionable to return Sunday against the Lions.

    Analysis: Barnett's current absence will leave the Eagles thin on the edges, and likely impact their pass rush abilities. In his absence, Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham will likely see extra snaps.

  • Will sit Saturday

    Barnett (coach's decision) is inactive Saturday against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Barnett is one of many defensive starters getting the night off, as the Eagles already have a playoff spot locked up. Tarron Jackson will now likely step up into increased opportunity against the Cowboys.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    Barnett was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Barnett was added to the list on Monday but is good to go for Sunday's tilt against the Football Team. He'll look to add to his career-high tackle total of 44.

  • Lands on COVID list

    Barnett (illness) has been placed on the Eagles' reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: Barnett's placement on the COVID list is the result of a positive test, according to Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston. He now will need to clear the league protocols before returning to the team. Josh Sweat and Cameron Malveaux are the only current healthy defensive ends on the team's roster, so they could be calling up some reinforcements from the practice squad.

  • Full participant Friday

    Barnett (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Barnett is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints due to a neck injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Analysis: Barnett was added to the injury report Friday as a non-participant, putting his status in question for this weekend. Ryan Kerrigan and Tarron Jackson should see increased run at defensive end should Barnett be ruled out.

  • Cleared for Thursday night

    Barnett turned in a full practice Wednesday and won't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Buccaneers after he was limited by an ankle issue Tuesday.

    Analysis: Playing under the final year of his rookie deal, Barnett hasn't made a strong early case for a big payday once he hits free agency this spring. Through the Eagles' first five games, the defensive end has 16 tackles (seven solo), but he has yet to record a sack in 209 snaps on defense.

  • Salary becomes guaranteed

    Barnett's (calf) $10 million salary for the 2021 season became fully guaranteed Wednesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: The Eagles exercised the fifth-year option on Barnett's rookie contract last year. Though Barnett's contract is now fully guaranteed after he remained on the roster when the new league year opened Wednesday, the Eagles can still lower his cap hit by trading him or extending him. The 2017 first-round pick battled a calf injury at the end of the 2020 season, but he's expected to be full participant for training camp.

  • Will miss second straight game

    Barnett (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington after he was unable to practice Friday.

    Analysis: Barnett will miss a second consecutive game to close out the 2020 campaign, providing the 24-year-old out of Tennessee with a stat line of 34 tackles, 5.5 sacks and 16 QB hits during his fourth pro season. While Barnett broke Reggie White's program sack record during his time in Knoxville, the results have largely failed to translate in the NFL. His game-clinching fumble recovery in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII will long be remembered by Eagles faithful. However, Barnett's 19.5 total…read more

  • Confirmed out for Week 16

    Barnett (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Barnett made a sudden appearance on Philadelphia's Friday injury report, and it's been determined that he won't make the Week 16 trip with the team to Arlington. An absence against the Cowboys will mark Barnett's first since Week 1. It's been another solid year of pass-rushing production for Barnett when he's been on the field, as he has already reached five-plus sacks for the third time over four pro campaigns.

    Barnett made three tackles -- two for a loss -- and a sack in Monday's 23-17 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Barnett made two huge plays on back-to-back drives in the first quarter. On the Seahawks' opening series, they made it to the Eagles' two-yard line and went for it on fourth down, sending David Moore on a jet sweep. Barnett busted through the offensive line and stopped Moore for a five-yard loss. On the next drive, the Seahawks opted to go for it on fourth down again, trying to run Russell Wilson up the middle for a first down, but Barnett read the play like a book and stopped the quarterback…read more

  • Shakes injury tag

    Barnett (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Barnett upgraded to full participation in Saturday's practice and will avoid missing his first game since Week 1. The 2017 first-round pick is tied for second on the team with 4.5 sacks through nine games. He's in store for a friendly matchup to build on that number, as Russell Wilson has been sacked on 8.4 percent of dropbacks this year (fifth-most in the league).

    Barnett (knee) returned to the field Sunday against the Browns, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Analysis: The 2017 first-round draft choice had been enjoying an effective season entering Sunday, with 4.5 sacks on the year and a total of two in his past three appearances. With Barnett out of the rotation for the time being, third-year man Josh Sweat will garner extra snaps at defensive end. Barnett had recorded two tackles prior to his exit Sunday.

    Barnett (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Barnett was unavailable in Week 1 because of this hamstring injury, but, barring a setback, he should be ready to make his season debut Sunday versus the Rams. The fourth-year pro is slated to start on the defensive line and he'll look to top last year's career-high 6.5 sacks.

    Analysis: Barnett was a limited participant in Friday's practice but will not be available for the opening contest of the season. He logged 6.5 sacks across 14 games in 2019 and has proven to be a playmaker when he's on the field. However, he has played in just 20 contests across the last two campaigns and will seemingly have injury concerns once again.

    Barnett (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's divisional contest against Washington.

    Analysis: Barnett managed to log three straight limited practices despite nursing a hamstring injury, which bodes well for his chances of earning clearance for Sunday's game. In the event that Barnett ends up on a snap count or is forced to miss time, however, Josh Sweat and Vinny Curry will be on hand to take extra reps.

    Barnett (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Barnett has been dealing with injury since training camp. It was initially reported that he had suffered an ankle sprain, and he's now nursing a hamstring issue. It's encouraging to note that the starting defensive end was at least a limited participant. He could still have a shot to suit up Sunday versus Washington.

    Barnett is dealing with an ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: There aren't any details on how severe Barnett's injury is, but the sources that relayed the news to Rapaport said that he has a realistic shot to be ready for the season opener against Washington on Sept. 13. That doesn't necessarily indicate optimism is in order, especially since Barnett dealt with an ankle injury that forced him to miss two games in December. While Barnett's recovering, Josh Sweat and Vinny Curry will battle for snaps at defensive end with the ones.

    Barnett is considered week-to-week with a lower-body injury, Martin Frank of The Delaware News Journal reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old is coming off a career season, logging 30 tackles (25 solo) and 6.5 sacks across 14 games during the 2019 campaign. Expect the Eagles to be cautious with one of their top pass rushers in camp as they ramp up for the 2020 regular season.

  • Gets option picked up

    The Eagles informed Barnett on Monday that they plan to exercise the fifth-year team option on the defensive end's contract, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 option is estimated at around $10 million, a hefty price for a defensive end that has missed 12 games over the past two seasons and has only logged 14 sacks since entering the NFL in 2017. The Eagles are evidently hopeful that Barnett can take a step forward in 2020, but if not, the team could cut him next offseason with few financial repercussions, as the fifth-year option is fully guaranteed only for injury.

  • Sets career highs across the board

    Barnett recorded 30 tackles (25 solo) and 6.5 sacks across 14 games during the 2019 season.

    Analysis: Barnett returned after playing just six games in 2018 due to a rotator-cuff injury that required season-ending surgery. While the 23-year-old dealt with an ankle issue that kept him out for two games late in the season, it didn't stop him from turning in his best pro campaign to date. The 2017 first-round pick has one year remaining on his rookie deal.

    Analysis: Barnett returned from a two-week absence to play 49 total snaps and log a solo tackle in Sunday's win over Dallas. He's been limited in the team's two practices this week but will likely still suit up Week 17.

  • Active against Cowboys

    Barnett (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Barnett's active again after two weeks on the shelf. The 23-year-old defensive end will look to build on the 27 tackles and 4.5 sacks he's recorded, so far as the Eagles look to keep their playoff hopes alive.

  • Wears questionable tag Week 16

    Barnett (ankle) is questionable for Week 16 against the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Barnett wasn't able to practice until putting in a limited session Friday. If he's forced to miss a third straight game, Vinny Curry would once again get extra snaps.

  • Downgraded to out

    Barnett (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Analysis: Barnett was deemed questionable Friday, but further evaluation will force the defensive end to miss his first game of the year. It's unsettled whether Josh Sweat or Vinny Curry will start in Barnett's place, but both figure to see upticks in their respective snap counts regardless.

  • Officially questionable

    Barnett (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt in Washington.

    Analysis: Barnett hasn't participated in practice since suffering an ankle injury Week 13 against Miami. He appears to be trending toward sitting out against the Redskins on Sunday, in which case Vinny Curry and Josh Sweat would stand to see an uptick in snaps.

  • Unavailable for MNF

    Barnett (ankle) is officially inactive for Monday's divisional matchup against the Giants.

    Analysis: Barnett was unable to participate in practice this week in any fashion after suffering the injury in last week's loss to Miami. With the 2017 first-round pick sidelined, Vinny Curry and Josh Sweat are the likely beneficiaries of increased snaps Week 14.

  • Questionable Week 14

    Barnett (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: Barnett suffered the ankle injury during last week's loss to the Dolphins and was unable to practice this week. The 23-year-old seems likely to be a game-day decision, given the lack of practice reps.

  • No practice Thursday

    Barnett (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Barnett played through an ankle injury in October, so his current issue may not be an entirely new development. The 2017 first-round pick will have two more chances to increase his practice activity ahead of Monday's divisional tilt against the Giants.
