One recent short season (games missed). Production already saw the missed games — this is forward risk only.
Quick answer
HoldBarnes had 6 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB171 through 7 games. 2025 stopped at 8 games; staying on the field is the swing factor. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
