STACKED’s take

Positive signalInjury

Barner healthy after ankle surgery, played full 2024 season despite lingering injuries.

Tight end underwent surgery this offseason to repair a long-standing ankle injury that had lingered since Senior Bowl week in 2024, two years prior; also dealt with hip, elbow, knee, and calf injuries last season but played all 17 regular-season games and all three playoff games, including catching a 16-yard TD pass in the Super Bowl; now reports feeling 'much better' and 'getting close to feeling better than I've ever felt.'
