The Vikings signed Barr off their practice squad Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The 31-year-old hasn't played since Week 12 after signing with the Vikings ahead of Week 11. He's seen action on 26 defensive snaps this season, recording one tackle and one fumble recovery.

Barr had one total tackle and played 12 snaps on defense in Sunday's loss at Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Barr had only joined the Vikings the previous week after he was unsigned as a free agent. He could see his role increase with Jordan Hicks (shin) on injured reserve.

The Vikings elevated Barr from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barr is no stranger to the Vikings -- he was taken by Minnesota in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft and played his first eight pro seasons with the organization, racking up 17.5 sacks over that span. With Jordan Hicks (shin) going on IR this week, Barr should be able to step in and add veteran depth to the team's linebacker corps.

Minnesota signed Barr to its practice squad Monday, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

At age 31, Barr is returning to Minnesota after a one-season stint in Dallas. With Jordan Hicks recently having undergone surgery on his lower leg, Barr could be elevated as soon as Sunday at Denver.

Barr recorded 58 tackles (35 solos) including one sack, with one pass defended and two fumble recoveries, over 14 regular-season games in 2022.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old linebacker missed three games in the middle of the season with a hamstring injury, but he didn't move the needle much when he was healthy, and his season high in a game was only seven tackles, a figure he reached three times. Barr will be a free agent again this offseason, and with younger options Damone Clark and Jabril Cox pushing for snaps in Dallas, the veteran may have to head elsewhere if he wants anything more than a rotational role in 2023.

Barr recorded seven tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble in Saturday's 40-34 win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

Barr's seven stops matched a season high, while his fumble recovery came deep in Philadelphia territory, just before the two-minute warning. The turnover allowed the Cowboys to take some extra time off the clock, while also leading to a field goal that padded their lead to 40-34. Barr will take the field again Thursday against the Titans.

Barr recorded seven tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 40-34 loss to the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Barr was sidelined for three straight games after suffering a hamstring injury Week 8. The 30-year-old linebacker then played less than half of the Cowboys' defensive snaps in back-to-back games, but he played a season-high 93 percent of the team's defensive snaps after Leighton Vander Esch (neck) was forced out early during Sunday's loss. Barr will likely continue to see increased playing time with Vander Esch already ruled out for Saturday's game against the Eagles.

Barr (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Barr was limited at practice throughout the week but will be able to suit up for Sunday's primetime matchup after missing the last three games. It's unclear whether he'll face any sort of snap count during his first game back in action.

Barr (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barr was limited at each practice throughout Week 13 prep and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's primetime matchup. Machota relayed that Trevon Diggs (illness), Michael Gallup (illness) and Jayron Kearse (shoulder) are all expected to play despite questionable designations, but he left Barr off that list, which suggests the veteran linebacker could be trending toward a fourth straight absence.

Barr (hamstring) is likely to return Sunday against the Colts, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barr has missed each of the team's last three games, but he's been able to practice in limited fashion this week. Gehlken also notes that according to head coach Mike McCarthy, Barr "looks good," so he should be able to return to his typical workload, if he is able to suit up.
