Panthers' Krys Barnes: Active for Saturday
Barnes (back) is active for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
With Claudin Cherelus (calf) inactive for Saturday's divisional tilt, Barnes and Bam Martin-Scott will likely be the ones to fill his role at inside linebacker next to Christian Rozeboom. Martin-Scott will likely get the initial reps, but Barnes may see his first defensive snaps since Week 13 as Saturday's game develops.

Panthers' Krys Barnes: Questionable for Week 18
Barnes (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Despite Barnes' questionable designation, he practiced in full throughout the week, suggesting he's trending toward playing in Saturday's regular-season finale. The UCLA product has tallied 17 total tackles across six appearances for the Panthers this season. If active for the Week 18 contest, expect Barnes to contribute primarily on special teams while playing a depth role in Carolina's linebacker corps.

Panthers' Krys Barnes: Earns spot on active roster
The Panthers are signing Barnes from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Barnes was elevated for Monday's loss to the 49ers with Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) and Trevin Wallace (shoulder) both inactive, and he proved productive in the spot start, playing 99 percent of defensive snaps and recording 10 tackles (three solo). If Rozeboom and Wallace both remain sidelined Sunday versus the Chargers, Barnes will represent a pivot option for fantasy managers in IDP formats.

Panthers' Krys Barnes: Logs 10 tackles in spot start
Barnes recorded 10 tackles (three solo) in the Panthers' 20-9 loss to the 49ers on Monday night.
Barnes was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Monday's contest and started at linebacker, playing 99 percent of the defensive snaps, seeing his first defensive action of the season. Christian Rozeboom (hip/hamstring) and Trevin Wallace (shoulder) were both inactive, and Claudin Cherelus exited Monday's game with a concussion, paving the way for Barnes to see extensive work.

Panthers' Krys Barnes: Signs with Carolina
Barnes and the Panthers agreed on a one-year contract Sunday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official website reports.
Barnes will head to Carolina after starting all 17 regular-season games with the Cardinals in 2024, recording 35 total tackles (19 solo), including a career-high 2.0 sacks. The 27-year-old will now compete with Christian Rozeboom, Trevin Wallace and Jacoby Windmon for snaps at inside linebacker in 2025.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Productive in limited role in 2024
Barnes finished the 2024 season with 35 total tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 17 games.
Barnes was able to appear in all 17 games with Arizona this season, spending the majority of his time operating as a special-teams option. The linebacker was able to notch a career-high 2.0 sacks while playing 201 total defensive snaps. Barnes will end the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and he'll likely have no trouble finding another suitor in 2025.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Fills in adequately
Barnes made nine tackles (eight solo), including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Packers.
The middle linebacker was playing in place of Kyzir White, who exited in the second quarter with a knee injury. Barnes played on more than 19 percent of Arizona's defensive snaps just once in the first five games, and his playing time moving forward might depend on White's status.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Back on Cardinals' roster
The Cardinals signed Barnes off the practice squad to the active roster Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Barnes was initially omitted from Arizona's 53-man roster at the end of training camp and signed to the practice squad Wednesday. That was a deliberate move by the Cardinals, who needed to keep a spot on the initial roster open for Elijah Jones (heel) after placing Darius Robinson (calf) and Christian Jones (ankle) in the two spots dedicated to players placed on injured reserve who are designated to return. With Jones now placed on IR without having to miss the entire 2024 season, Barnes was brought back onto the active roster Thursday. Barnes played in 16 regular-season games in 2023 and finished with 55 tackles (35 solo), six passes defended and one interception.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Notches new deal with Arizona
Barnes and the Cardinals agreed on a one-year contract Monday, Johnny Venerables of PHNX Cardinals reports.
Barnes joined the Cardinals ahead of the 2023 campaign, recording 55 tackles and six pass deflections (including an interception) over 16 games. The linebacker will now have a chance to build off of that performance in another campaign with Arizona.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Productive late in 2023
Barnes tallied 55 tackles, one interception and five more pass defenses in 16 games during the 2023 regular season.
Barnes scattered six starts among his 16 appearances, and most of his production occurred after Kyzir White was lost for the season after Week 11 due to a torn biceps. As evidence, Barnes had 34 tackles over the final six contests, a span in which he played at least 60 percent of the defensive snaps on four occasions. He was operating on a one-year contract this past season, so a return to the Cardinals in 2024 may depend on White's recovery.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Co-leading tackler in win
Barnes finished Sunday's 35-31 win over the Eagles with seven tackles (four solo).
Barnes and Antonio Hamilton finished tied for the most tackles on Arizona's defense Sunday. Barnes has played all but one defensive snap over the last two games since moving into the starting middle linebacker role for Kyzir White, who was placed on IR on Nov. 21 with a torn biceps. Since then, Barnes has 28 tackles (15 solo) over five games.
