He appears to have recovered after landing on IR with a knee injury Week 17 last season.

• Panthers' Kenjon Barner: Earns first touch since return

  12/26/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Barner caught his only target for a three-yard gain during Sunday's 24-10 loss to Atlanta. Barner was relegated to mostly special-teams duty in his first three games with the Panthers after being scooped up off waivers from the Patriots. That changed Sunday, as the scatback recorded his first reception on either squad this season. While the Panthers haven't clarified their plans for the season finale against the Saints, there's a decent chance do-it-all lead back Christian McCaffrey is more limited than usual as Carolina looks to preserve his health heading into the offseason. If that's the case, Barner and fellow reserve backs Cameron Artis-Payne and Travaris Cadet could see more opportunities than usual.
