EAGAN, Minn. - The injury that has sidelined Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr since early August could put him in jeopardy of missing the team's Week 1 game at Cincinnati.
Barr has not practiced since Aug. 5 with an undisclosed injury. Following the Vikings' 12-10 loss to Indianapolis, coach Mike Zimmer did not reveal what is keeping Barr sidelined but said the injury is not related to the season-ending pectoral muscle tear the linebacker sustained two weeks into the 2020 season.
According to co-defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Adam Zimmer, the uncertainty surrounding Barr's injury puts his availability in question for the opener.
