Earlier this month, Jerod Mayo claimed that defensive tackle Christian Barmore would be “getting close” to making a comeback. On Wednesday, the New England Patriots’ head coach put a tentative timeline on Barmore’s potential return from his blood clots diagnosis.
“There is a chance that he would be able to practice this week or next week,” Mayo said during a press conference. “There is a chance that we’ll get him back soon.”
A key member of the Patriots defense and one of the most disruptive interior defensive linemen in football, Barmore has been unable to participate in practice since July.
