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: Won't play Sunday
Barnes (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
The 25-year-old linebacker out of UCLA suffered a hamstring injury during the Cardinals' Week 7 loss to the Seahawks, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's no surprise that he'll be inactive Sunday. Victor Dimukeje is expected to see an increased workload as a rotational linebacker in Barnes' stead.

Cardinals' Krys Barnes: Officially questionable
Barnes (finger) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's matchup with the 49ers.
Barnes logged consecutive limited workloads at practice to close out the week after spending Wednesday on the sidelines. He has been filling in for Josh Woods (ankle), who is set to miss his third straight game. So, if Barnes cannot go, Owen Pappoe and Victor Dimukeje would be candidates for increased snaps.
