SHAQUIL BARRETT NEWS

Tacks on fifth sack Barrett recorded three solo tackles -- two for a loss -- and a sack in Sunday's 46-23 win over the Panthers.

Impact Despite the blowout nature of Sunday's game, the Panthers attempted just 28 passes, providing a low ceiling for Barrett. He came through nonetheless, notching his fifth sack of the season. The veteran linebacker is going to fall well short of the 19.5 sacks he piled up in 2019, but he has a good chance to hit double digits once again.

Clear for Week 10 Barrett (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Barrett was added to the injury report Wednesday as a limited participant, but he was able to finish the week with a full practice. The 27-year-old broke a four-game sack-less streak in Week 9 and has four sacks in 2020.

Limited again Thursday Barrett (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Beginning the week with back-to-back limited practices isn't ideal, but it's at least encouraging that Barrett hasn't been held out entirely. Unless the 27-year-old pass rusher can upgrade his activity level Friday, though, it looked like he could be destined to carry a 'questionable' tag for Sunday's game in Carolina.

Surfaces on injury report Barrett (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Barrett handled a season-low 68 percent snap share in last week's loss to the Saints. His lack of playing time may have been due to this injury, but it also may have been a result of how early the game got out of hand. Regardless, it's a positive sign that he's still able to practice ahead of this Sunday's matchup against Carolina.

Records sack in loss Barrett totaled four tackles (two solo), including one sack, in the Buccaneers' 38-3 loss to the Saints on Sunday night.

Impact Barrett broke a four-game sack-less streak with his takedown of Drew Brees, which marked the only time all game the Buccaneers got to the future Hall of Famer. The veteran linebacker is considerably off his jaw-dropping 2019 pace, a season that saw him record a league-best 19.5 sacks, which is unsurprising given how heavily focused defensive coordinators were clearly going to be in slowing down Barrett this season. He's offering some decent production on the tackle front with an average of just over 4.0 stops per contest, but he'll need to up his sack numbers to be a truly worthwhile fantasy asset.

Solid tackle tally in win Barrett posted six tackles (four solo), including one for loss, and also recorded a defensed pass in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact The versatile linebacker applied solid pressure on Derek Carr on multiple occasions as well while tying his second-highest tackle total of the campaign. Barrett has just three sacks through seven games after posting a league-high and career-best 19.5 in 2019, but that's not exactly surprising when factoring in that offensive coordinators are naturally devising protection schemes with him specifically in mind.

Two sacks in Week 3 win Barrett recorded six tackles (five solo), including two sacks, and was credited with three tackles for loss overall in a 28-10 win over the Broncos on Sunday.

Impact Making his return to the city where he played the first four seasons of his career, Barrett made a splash with his first two quarterback takedowns of 2020. One of those resulted in an early fourth-quarter safety, making it a stellar all-around fantasy day for the veteran linebacker. While he's way off the pace of last season's 19.5-sack season thus far, Barrett is on track for what would be a career-high 75 tackles after recording 14 stops through three games.

Relatively quiet in Week 1 loss Barrett recorded three tackles (all solo) and one pass defensed in the Buccaneers' 34-23 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Last year's NFL sack king got his 2020 campaign off to an inauspicious start against a tough opponent in the Saints. There's naturally an expectation Barrett will be a focus of opponents' pass-protection schemes this season after his 19.5 quarterback takedowns in 2019, meaning the sixth-year pro may have an uphill battle to generate a comparable encore in what is a second consecutive contract year.
