The Washington Commanders continued their roster moves by bringing in veteran linebacker Krys Barnes, according to reports from Monday evening. The signing marks another addition to the team’s linebacker group as they prepare for the upcoming season following their preseason victory over Miami.
Barnes brings significant professional experience to the defensive unit. The UCLA alumnus has played in the NFL since 2020, spending time with the Green Bay Packers, Arizona Cardinals, and Carolina Panthers over the past six seasons. Throughout his career, he has accumulated 303 total tackles, including 16 for losses and one sack.
The addition could signal the team is addressing depth concerns at the linebacker position or potentially responding to an unreported injury within the group. The move also provides additional competition for roster spots and could enhance the team’s special teams capabilities, an area the organization prioritizes during training camp.
The Barnes signing was one of several roster transactions the Commanders executed following Friday’s 20-7 preseason win. The team was expected to announce additional signings and corresponding roster moves ahead of Tuesday morning’s practice session.
