Two Alabama alumni who haven’t been on the field for a while will be eligible to play in NFL games on Sunday.
On Saturday, the New England Patriots restored defensive tackle Christian Barmore to their active roster and the New York Giants elevated Landon Collins from their practice squad.
Barmore hasn’t played since Oct. 16. A knee injury sent the defensive tackle to injured reserve and caused him to miss seven games. But he returned to practice on Wednesday, and the Patriots took him off IR on Saturday, making him eligible to play when New England takes on the Las Vegas Raiders at 3:05 p.
