Posts big effort in Week 16 loss Barton recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one interception in Sunday's loss to the Jets.

Impact Barton finished second on the Commanders in stops, posting his third straight double-digit tackle performance. The fifth-year pro added a third-quarter interception that he ran back 52 yards to help set up Washington's second score of the game. Barton missed four games earlier in the campaign due to an ankle injury, but his big effort Sunday pushed him up to 101 tackles on the season, marking the second straight year he's reached triple-digit stops.

Busy in Week 15 Barton recorded 13 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Rams.

Designated to return from IR The Commanders designated Barton (ankle) to return from injured reserve Monday.

Impact Barton was injured in Week 7 and has missed the required four games on injured reserve. Prior to his injury, Barton had played every defensive snap for Washington. On the year, he's recorded 61 tackles (33 solo), one tackle for loss and one fumble recovery. Washington will have 21 days to activate Barton.

Headed to IR The Commanders placed Barton (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Barton sustained the ankle injury in the Commanders' 14-7 loss to the Giants in Week 7. He has been a crucial piece to their defensive scheme and had registered 60 tackles in the first six weeks of the season. With Barton set to miss at least the next four games, David Mayo will be a candidate for an increased workload in the former's absence. Barton will be eligible to return against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day.

Won't play vs. Eagles Barton (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Barton will miss a start for the first time this season as he tends to an ankle injury he sustained in Week 7 at the Giants. In his stead, David Mayo figures to see an expanded role at linebacker in Week 8.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice to start week Barton (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.

Impact Barton was suspected to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's game at the Giants, so it comes as no surprise that he wasn't able to suit up for practice Wednesday. Unless he can return to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday, he'd be a good bet to sit out in Week 8 versus Philadelphia.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

High-ankle sprain feared Coach Ron Rivera said Monday that Barton is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's game at the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Barton is set to undergo an MRI on Monday, but at this point it appears a multi-game absence is likely. As long as he's out, David Mayo is a good bet to see increased playing time at linebacker.

OCTOBER 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Seen in walking boot Barton (ankle) was seen in a walking boot following Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Barton recorded just one tackle before sustaining an ankle injury in the first half. The walking boot he was seen in following the game indicates the injury could be an issue going forward. David Mayo would presumably be in line to fill in at middle linebacker if need be.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Forced out Sunday Barton was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants with an ankle injury.

Impact Barton will not return after sustaining this ankle injury at some point during the first half. The 26-year-old logged just one tackle before exiting Sunday, though he accumulated 60 tackles over the first six weeks of the season. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday, Oct. 29 against Philadelphia. With Barton sidelined, David Mayo has stepped in at middle linebacker for Washington.

OCTOBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in tackles Barton logged 14 tackles (five solo) during Washington's 24-16 win versus the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact Barton led the team in tackles while recording a new season high as he helped the Commanders shut down the Falcons offense. The 26-year-old currently leads the team in tackles with 59 (32 solo) and will look to add to those totals against the Giants next week.

Piles up 136 stops Barton posted 136 tackles (84 solo), six pass breakups, two sacks and two interceptions over 17 regular-season games.

Impact Barton's playing time fluctuated during the season, bottoming out at a 44 percent snap share in Week 8, but he started the Seahawks' final six regular-season games and the playoff game. The 2019 third-round pick is headed towards free agency in March, but the Seahawks may want to re-sign him, especially because Jordyn Brooks underwent ACL surgery Jan. 19 and may not be ready for the start of the 2023 season. While Barton struggles in coverage, he's a high-end IDP option when he's in the lineup.

Mediocre outing in win Barton recorded six tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 23-6 win over the Jets.

Impact Barton had gone six consecutive games with at least seven stops made prior to Sunday, but he ultimately failed to reach that mark again in Week 17 versus New York. With the NFL's No. 3 leading tackler in Jordyn Brooks having suffered a season-ending torn ACL this past weekend, Barton figures to absorb a larger role in Week 18 against the Rams, and if applicable, the postseason.
