  • Lions' Derrick Barnes: Won't return this season

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday he does not expect Barnes (knee) to return from IR during the playoffs, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.

    Barnes landed on IR back in Week 3 due to a knee injury, and while it initially appeared he could make a push to retake the field late in the playoffs, the fourth-year linebacker will instead turn his full attention toward the 2025 campaign. He's slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

  • Lions' Derrick Barnes: Could return later in season

    Barnes (knee) said Wednesday that he's not ruling out a return from injured reserve later this season, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Barnes has been sidelined since the Lions' win over the Cardinals in Week 3, when he sustained injuries to his MCL and PCL. While he indicated he has a chance to play again in 2024, his odds of doing so would appear to be slim. Through the first three games of the season, the fourth-year linebacker recorded 10 tackles and one pass breakups across 114 defensive snaps.

  • Lions' Derrick Barnes: Unlikely to return this season

  • Lions' Derrick Barnes: Officially placed on IR

    The Lions placed Barnes (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Barnes will miss at least Detroit's next four games due to a knee injury sustained in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals. Coach Dan Campbell alluded to a significant recovery timetable for Barnes, so it's possible the starting linebacker could be out longer. Malcolm Rodriguez played a season-high 87 percent of defensive snaps Week 3 and figures to continue handling an expanded role versus the Seahawks on Sunday.

Though Campbell didn't go into details regarding the nature of Barnes' knee injury while the Lions await a second opinion, the 25-year-old linebacker is expected to be placed on injured reserve, per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Barnes recorded 10 tackles and one pass breakup through the Lions' first three games.
