Held back in practice Wednesday Barnes (shoulder/biceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Barnes started this past Sunday's win over the Texans, but he only played 27 defensive snaps before aggravating his shoulder injury and being forced to sit out for the rest of the game. The undrafted rookie out of UCLA still managed eight tackles and his first career sack before his departure. It's a positive sign that he's on the field to start the practice week, although the limited designation could signal that he's avoiding contact. If he's unable to play this Sunday against the Vikings, Kamal Martin (knee) likely would start at inside linebacker alongside Ty Summers.

Shoulder issue arises again Barnes (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Impact Barnes was all over the field prior to his exit on the first play of the third quarter, tallying a sack along with a team-high eight tackles. The undrafted rookie from UCLA has been making a profound impact thus far in 2020, as he entered Sunday's contest with eight more tackles than any other Packers defender. Kamal Martin stands behind Barnes on the depth chart, and with Green Bay carrying a multi-possession lead, the team may exercise a cautious approach with its starting linebacker.

Green light for Week 7 Barnes (shoulder/calf) will play in Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Barnes was limited in practice all week but has been cleared for Sunday's contest. The undrafted rookie out of UCLA quickly claimed the starting inside linebacker role for Green Bay this year, and he posted a season-high 10 tackles against the Buccaneers last week. He should handle a full workload again, making him a sneaky IDP play, though he has limited upside since he hasn't recorded a pass breakup or a sack so far.

Dealing with injury Barnes (shoulder/calf) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Barnes led the team on defense in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, totaling 10 tackles across 88 percent of snaps, so he could be dealing with some wear and tear. It's still too early to panic about his chances to suit up in Week 7, but if he is ultimately ruled out, Oren Burks and James Burgess would be in line for an increased snap count.

Paces squad in stops Barnes made 10 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Things didn't go as planned for the Packers, but the undrafted rookie out of UCLA was once again a bright spot, playing 88 percent of the defensive snaps and leading the team in tackles. Barnes clogs up running lanes well and has seemingly secured a starting inside linebacker job moving forward, and he should be able to retain the gig even when Christian Kirksey (pectoral) returns to the lineup.

Full-go during Thursday's session Barnes (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 22-year-old linebacker has upgraded from limited practice participation to full participation between Wednesday and Thursday, shining optimism on his status for a Week 6 showdown with Tampa Bay's No. 11 scoring offense. Barnes sustained his shoulder injury during Green Bay's Week 4 Monday night win over the Falcons, though he still was capable of playing a season-high 38 defensive snaps during that contest. With 25 tackles already recorded, the undrafted rookie from UCLA is off to a productive start to his NFL career.

Questionable to return Barnes is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Falcons due to a shoulder injury.

Impact It's unclear as to when Barnes suffered the injury. Oren Burks will likely see time at inside linebacker if Barnes is unable to return.

He's being rewarded with his promotion from the practice squad and has the chance to be active for the team's Week 1 matchup against Minnesota.
