PEYTON BARBER NEWS

Dealing with turf toe Barber was diagnosed Wednesday with a mild case of turf toe, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact On the plus side, the report notes that Barber didn't fracture his foot, but the running back is still seeking opinions and undergoing additional tests to determine a course of action and timetable for his recovery. For now, Barber should be viewed as questionable, at best, for Sunday's game against the Bears, with Rapoport suggesting that the 27-year-old may end up missing a few weeks. If that's the case, Josh Jacobs would be in line to handle the bulk of the Raiders' early down work while Kenyan Drake serves as a complementary presence out of the backfield.

Picks up foot injury Barber hurt his foot during Monday's road game versus the Chargers.

Impact Prior to his departure in the first quarter, Barber had one kick return for 25 yards, while Josh Jacobs logged both of the carries for three yards in his return from a two-game absence. If Barber is unable to get back into the game, the Raiders will be down to Jacobs and Kenyan Drake in the backfield.

Less work possible Monday Barber may have a reduced workload in Monday's road game against the Chargers with Josh Jacobs (ankle) active.

Impact With Jacobs available for the first time since Week 1, it remains to be seen how the backfield will break down Monday, but Barber could split early-down reps with Jacobs while Kenyan Drake retains much of the change-of-pace work. Still, Barber is active himself, so he may earn enough snaps to be a viable option versus a Chargers defense that has allowed an NFL-worst 5.5 yards per carry to running backs this season.

Inefficient on ground Barber carried the ball 13 times for 32 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Barber led the Raiders' backfield in both carries and yardage, yet his day was still hardly noteworthy. His longest rush of the contest went for 13 yards, though he was also tackled for a loss on four separate occasions. Barber's role in the offense going forward will be dependent on the health of Josh Jacobs (toe/anke), though even with a significant workload the results don't project to be particularly impressive.

Added opportunity with Jacobs out Barber is a candidate to help fill in for Josh Jacobs (toe/ankle), who has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Adam Hill of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact "It's an opportunity for Peyton Barber," coach Jon Gruden said of Jacobs' looming absence. "We really like Barber. I like the way he runs and catches and picks up blitzes." With that, it looks like Barber will be involved in the Raiders' Week 2 game plan and thus profiles as an option for those scrambling for RB help. That said, Hill believes that offseason addition Kenyan Drake figures to take the majority of the team's backfield snaps Sunday, a notion echoed by Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site.

Joins Raiders' backfield The Raiders will sign Barber off Washington's practice squad, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact With Jalen Richard (leg) on IR and slated to miss at least three games to start the coming season, Barber gives the Raiders some needed backfield depth behind Josh Jacobs and Kenyan Drake. Over the course of 16 games with Washington last season, Barber logged 94 carries for 258 yards and four TDs, en route to recording a career-low 2.7 yards per carry. As long as Jacobs and Drake are available, Barber doesn't have a path to steady touches, but he could see occasional early-down or short-yardage carries behind the team's top duo.

Back with Washington The Football Team signed Barber to the practice squad Wednesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Barber lost his spot on the initial 53-man roster as a result of rookie Jaret Patterson logging an impressive preseason, but he will stick around in Washington as an emergency option in case of injury. In 16 appearances with the Football Team last season, Barber handled 94 carries for 258 yards and four touchdowns, recording a career-low 2.7 yards per carry.

Released by WFT Barber was released by Washington on Tuesday, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Barber was hoping to reprise his role from last season but instead seems to have lost the No. 3 spot on the depth chart to undrafted rookie Jaret Patterson, who had 180 total yards and a touchdown in three preseason games. Washington may end up re-signing Barber at some point this year if he doesn't land with another team. Experience is probably the biggest thing working in his favor at this point, with the 27-year-old plodder having logged 1,539 career snaps on offense and another 482 on special teams.
