Christian Barmore set to return to practice for Patriots: Report

When Jerod Mayo said Wednesday there was a chance the New England Patriots could get Christian Barmore back soon, he wasn't lying.

The veteran defensive tackle, who hasn't played this season after being diagnosed with blood clots in July, is "likely to practice" for the first time Thursday, NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reports.

Christian Barmore has stayed close to the #Patriots during his illness and is forever grateful to Jim Whalen and the team's athletic training staff for literally saving his life.

Being back on the football field is such a cool win for all involved.
