Lands on IR Barr suffered a torn pectoral muscle and has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Barr exited Week 2's loss to the Colts in the first half and was ruled out quickly. Tests have revealed that he has a season-ending injury and will be placed on IR as a result. This is a major loss to a Vikings defense that has struggled through two weeks, as Barr is an every-down player that produced a career-high 79 tackles last season. Either Ryan Connelly or Troy Dye will likely start at strong-side linebacker moving forward.

Suffers injury Sunday Barr (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Colts.
Impact It's unclear how Barr suffered the injury, but the fact that he was immediately classified as doubtful is certainly a negative sign. As long as Barr is sidlined, Ryan Connelly and Troy Dye would be in line to see an uptick in usage.

Six tackles Sunday Barr had six total tackles, but a key off-side penalty, in Sunday's loss at Green Bay.
Impact Aaron Rodgers used Barr's penalty to complete a long pass on a free play. Barr had one hurry, according to Pro Football Focus, but was unable to be disruptive in the pass rush due to Green Bay focusing on quick passes. Barr should have better stats later in the season, but he may not be able to rush the passer as frequently if the secondary continues to struggle.
