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. 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 touchdown that made it a three-score game early in the fourth quarter. The sack was Barnett's third of the season and the TD his first since his rookie season in 2017, when as a member of the Eagles he returned a fumble for a score.

Barnett (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Patriots. 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.

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

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

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