While the New England Patriots are dealing with several injuries, they will get one key defensive reinforcement back when they face the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The Patriots activated defensive tackle Christian Barmore off injured reserve Saturday, clearing the path for him to suit up for the first time since a Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns. Barmore missed the last seven games due to a knee injury.
The second-year defensive lineman is a key cog in the middle of New England’s defense and sure will be relied upon to slow down Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, who leads the NFL with 1,402 rushing yards.
