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: 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.

Barnes had to be carted to the locker room in the second quarter. Prior to leaving, Barnes recorded one tackle (one solo). Starting LB Alex Anzalone (concussion) is already inactive for Week 3. Ben Niemann and Jalen Reeves-Maybin will be next up for snaps at linebacker for Detroit.

Lions' Derrick Barnes: Downgraded to out Sunday
The Lions downgraded Barnes (knee) to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Barnes was carted to the locker room in the first half, so this was the logical endgame for the linebacker. Jack Campbell and Malcolm Rodriguez are likely to soak up the snaps for Detroit in the linebacker corps.
