Barno (knee) is has been participating at Carolina's OTAs in a limited fashion, Schuvier Calihan of SI.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barno saw an 11 percent increase in defense snaps through 15 games last season before suffering an ACL injury. He remains without a specific return day, but his limited work at OTAs, albeit capped, is promising at this point. The 25-year-old has primarily been a depth option on the edge through two years in the league and projects for a similar role in 2024 when his health is back up to par.

Barno (knee) is not participating in voluntary workouts Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barno finished out the 2023 campaign on injured reserve after suffering a knee injury Week 16 against the Packers. Although it's not clear what specifically the injury was or how much longer it may affect him, it appears to still be a big enough issue that the Virginia Tech product is not taking part in drills. Luckily, for the Barno and the Panthers, training camp is still about three months away.

The Panthers placed Barno (knee) on their injured reserve list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

With Carolina mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the transaction will end Barno's season. Over 15 games this year, he recorded 21 tackles (13 solo). He'll hope to continue to progress in 2024.

Barno (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Barno (hamstring) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barno picked up a hamstring injury during the Panthers' second preseason game, but he's since cleared the issue and should be good to go for Week 1. The rookie sixth-round pick is expected to operate as rotational depth along Carolina's defensive line to start his NFL career.

Barno suffered a hamstring injury during Carolina's 20-10 preseason loss at New England on Friday, Bill Voth of the Panthers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of the injury is still unknown, but he was ruled out for the remainder of the game after sustaining it. In his first two preseason appearances, Barno has flashed some of the potential the Panthers saw in him after he ran a 4.36-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, registering three tackles, a QB hit and a fumble recovery. As he works to recover, Darryl Johnson and Drew Jordan should be in line for more work at defensive end.
