New England Patriots star defensive tackle Christian Barmore is headed to the reserve non-football illness list, the team announced Thursday.
Barmore, 25, “experienced some recurring symptoms that require further evaluation,” the Patriots said in their statement.
Those symptoms, though not explicitly referenced by the organization, could have to do with the blood clots Barmore was diagnosed with over the summer.
The Philadelphia native had been hospitalized in July and his recovery spanned the summer and stretched well into the fall.
