Won't play Sunday Barr (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Lions.
Impact Barr will miss his sixth game of the season and first since Week 10, as he's battled knee and hamstring issues for the better part of 2021. The four-time Pro Bowler's absence will leave a sizable hole in the Vikings' linebacker unit, which Blake Lynch will try to help fill.

Questionable against Lions Barr (knee/hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.

Another DNP on Thursday Barr (knee/hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.

Sidelined Wednesday Barr (knee/hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Impact Barr picked up a hamstring injury in the Week 12 loss to the 49ers, and that coupled with his nagging knee injury would have kept Barr from participating if Minnesota had held practice Wednesday rather than a walk-through. He's in danger of sitting out for the sixth time this season Sunday against the Lions, and Blake Lynch will likely start should Barr sit.
