Christian Barmore’s injury might not have been as serious as it initially appeared.
Initial tests on the New England Patriots defensive tackle’s injured right knee were “promising, indicating no major injury,” according to a report from NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport after Sunday’s 33-24 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
“As we’ve seen, the MRI could tell a different story,” Rapoport tweeted, “but at first glance there is some good news.”
Barmore suffered the injury in a collision with teammate Joejuan Williams during the final minutes of Sunday’s game. Both were attempting to tackle Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
