Leading tackler in loss
Barnes compiled 11 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Giants' loss to the Patriots on Monday.
Analysis: Barnes benefited from increased playing time due to the team's injuries at linebacker and delivered his best outing of the campaign. His 13 tackles not only lead the team but also marked a new season high for the 26-year-old. Barnes also managed to record the first sack of his career.

Available for OTAs
Barnes (ankle) has been participating in OTAs.
Analysis: Barnes sat out the entire 2024 campaign due to an ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve, but the 2023 sixth-round draft pick has recovered ahead of the 2025 campaign. Barnes appeared in four games as a rookie but played exclusively on special teams. He'll compete for a roster spot with the Jets in training camp.

Shifts to IR
The Jets placed Barnes (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Analysis: Barnes had been ruled out for the Jets' Week 1 matchup with the 49ers and has since been placed on IR with an ankle injury. The second-year linebacker will be forced to miss at least New York's next four contests. With Barnes and Jimmy Ciarlo (knee) on IR, the Jets have just three healthy outside linebackers on their active roster: Quincy Williams, Sam Eguavoen and Jamien Sherwood.

Four tackles vs. Washington
Barnes (hamstring) recorded four tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 20-17 preseason loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Barnes played 38 snaps (25 on defense, 13 on special teams) in Saturday's contest. He played 32 snaps -- all on special teams -- across four regular-season outings for the Jets last year, but he missed the end of the season due to a hamstring injury. The 2023 sixth-round pick is competing for a depth spot at outside linebacker behind starters Quincy Williams and Jermaine Johnson.
