Ryan Kerrigan, Washington star defensive end, joins Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles and four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Ryan Kerrigan have agreed on a one-year contractMAY 17, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Salary becomes guaranteed Barnett's (calf) $10 million salary for the 2021 season became fully guaranteed Wednesday, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Impact The Eagles exercised the fifth-year option in Barnett's contract last year. With Barnett still on the roster after the new league year began Wednesday, his contract became fully guaranteed for the 2021 season, though the Eagles can still lower the cap hit by trading him or agreeing to an extension. The 2017 first-round pick battled a calf injury at the end of the 2020 season, but he's expected to be full-go by training camp. Barnett will start at defensive end in 2021 if he stays with the Eagles after he produced 64 tackles and 12 sacks over the past two seasons.

Will miss second straight game Barnett (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against Washington after he was unable to practice Friday.
Impact Barnett will miss a second consecutive game to close out the 2020 campaign, providing the 24-year-old out of Tennessee with a stat line of 34 tackles, 5.5 sacks and 16 QB hits during his fourth pro season. While Barnett broke Reggie White's program sack record during his time in Knoxville, the results have largely failed to translate in the NFL. His game-clinching fumble recovery in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LII will long be remembered by Eagles faithful. However, Barnett's 19.5 total sacks over 48 games represent an underwhelming total for a No. 14 overall draft choice. He's set to return to Philadelphia in 2021 after the team exercised his fifth-year option in April.

Confirmed out for Week 16 Barnett (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Impact Barnett made a sudden appearance on Philadelphia's Friday injury report, and it's been determined that he won't make the Week 16 trip with the team to Arlington. An absence against the Cowboys will mark Barnett's first since Week 1. It's been another solid year of pass-rushing production for Barnett when he's been on the field, as he has already reached five-plus sacks for the third time over four pro campaigns.

Now questionable for Sunday Barnett (calf) was added to the injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Dallas, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Eagles listed Barnett as a limited participant in Friday's practice. With DT Fletcher Cox (neck) also questionable, Cowboys QB Andy Dalton could see a depleted version of the Eagles' pass rush this weekend.

Makes big plays in primetime Barnett made three tackles -- two for a loss -- and a sack in Monday's 23-17 loss to the Eagles.
Impact Barnett made two huge plays on back-to-back drives in the first quarter. On the Seahawks' opening series, they made it to the Eagles' two-yard line and went for it on fourth down, sending David Moore on a jet sweep. Barnett busted through the offensive line and stopped Moore for a five-yard loss. On the next drive, the Seahawks opted to go for it on fourth down again, trying to run Russell Wilson up the middle for a first down, but Barnett read the play like a book and stopped the quarterback in his tracks. The game may have gotten out of hand much earlier without Barnett's efforts, although he was relatively quiet for the rest of the game. The 2017 first-round pick now has 26 tackles and 5.5 sacks through 10 games.

Shakes injury tag Barnett (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Seahawks.
Impact Barnett upgraded to full participation in Saturday's practice and will avoid missing his first game since Week 1. The 2017 first-round pick is tied for second on the team with 4.5 sacks through nine games. He's in store for a friendly matchup to build on that number, as Russell Wilson has been sacked on 8.4 percent of dropbacks this year (fifth-most in the league).

Returns to action Barnett (knee) returned to the field Sunday against the Browns, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Impact Barnett was considered questionable to return with the knee issue, but he was back on the field and blocked a field goal during the second half. The 24-year-old should continue to play a major role in the Eagles' defensive line rotation.

Dealing with knee issue Barnett (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Impact The 2017 first-round draft choice had been enjoying an effective season entering Sunday, with 4.5 sacks on the year and a total of two in his past three appearances. With Barnett out of the rotation for the time being, third-year man Josh Sweat will garner extra snaps at defensive end. Barnett had recorded two tackles prior to his exit Sunday.
