Optimistic update on potential Christian Barmore return

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick had an encouraging update on defensive tackle Christian Barmore as the latter tries to recover from an injury.

Barmore has not played since Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns. He was placed on injured reserve two days before the Patriots took on the New York Jets in Week 11 due to him needing time to reduce swelling in his knee, according to NFL Network’s Mike Giardi.

He appears to be eligible to practice after New England’s game against the Cardinals next Monday. So he could potentially travel with the team to Arizona, as the Patriots complete a mini-West Coast road trip that includes a stop to visit the Las Vegas Raiders.
