Barnes was originally added during the team’s last week of preseason, but didn’t make final cuts. Since then, he’s hovered closely around the team and was actually re-signed early last week. However, Dixon would be called up from the practice squad over Barnes for Sunday’s Week 4 game against the Chargers.
