Anthony Barr News
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The veteran linebacker signed with the organization earlier this week. He spent the first eight seasons of his pro career in Minnesota after being drafted in the first round by them in 2014. During that span, Barr was an impact player with 17.5 sacks during his time in Minnesota. The Vikings could use the extra depth with Jordan Hicks (shin) landing on the injured reserve. Barr should be able to step up and help this Vikings defense immediately.
Veteran linebacker Anthony Barr signed with the Minnesota Vikings' practice squad on Tuesday. Barr was the ninth overall pick by Minnesota in the 2014 NFL Draft. He totaled 495 tackles, 17.5 sacks, five interceptions, and four Pro Bowl nods in eight seasons with the organization. In 2022, he played for the Dallas Cowboys, compiling 58 tackles and one sack. The 31-year-old will likely be on the practice squad for a week or two, but there's a good chance he's brought up to the active roster as Minnesota looks to continue its playoff push.
The New York Giants hosted free-agent linebacker Anthony Barr for a visit on Thursday, according to a source, but no deal is imminent. Barr also recently visited with the New Orleans Saints as he looks to find a new home before the start of the 2023 regular season in early September. The former ninth overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 out of UCLA has been hurt by injuries in recent seasons and hasn't played a full year since 2017 with the Vikes. The four-time Pro Bowler spent the 2022 campaign with the Dallas Cowboys, recording 58 tackles (35 solo), one sack, four QB hits, and two fumble recoveries in 14 games (10 starts). If he signs with the G-Men, he'll provide depth at linebacker this year.
