The Cardinals placed Barton (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday. Barton was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the 49ers. His placement on IR allowed Arizona to sign safety Andre Chachere from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday. Barton appeared in four regular-season games for the Cardinals, including two starts at right tackle.
Barton (ankle) was downgraded to out Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Barton popped up on the injury report Friday due to an ankle issue and was initially deemed questionable for Sunday. However, the injury is severe enough that he's been ruled out with over 24 hours to go before kickoff. Per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com, rookie Christian Jones is expected to make his first career NFL start Sunday in Barton's stead.
The Cardinals restored Barton (toe) to the practice squad from the practice squad injured list Wednesday. Barton has been sidelined since late September due to a toe issue, but the offensive lineman is now ready to resume handling practice squad reps. In a corresponding move, Arizona cut linebacker Ronnie Perkins from the practice squad.
The Cardinals placed Barton on the practice squad injured list Wednesday due to a toe injury. Barton was called up for Sunday's game against the Lions and started at right tackle in place of Kelvin Beachum (hamstring). Barton injured his toe in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next four games. That makes Week 8 against the Dolphins on Oct. 27 the earliest he can be reinstated off the practice squad IR.
Barton suffered a toe injury and did not return to Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Lions. Barton played right tackle Sunday in place of the injured Kelvin Beachum. Beachum had taken over for Jonah Williams, who is now on IR. The Cardinals' injury situation at right tackle will be worth monitoring this week.
