For the first time since being diagnosed with blood clots in July, defensive tackle Christian Barmore took the practice field on Thursday — leaving both his teammates and coaches excited.
“Just look forward to having him back and around and see what he looks like,” defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery said. “We haven’t seen him for a while so it’s good to be able to get him on the practice field and see what happens.”
Appearing at practice on Thursday officially opens the New England Patriots’ 21-day window to activate Barmore off the non-football injury list and onto the 53-man roster.
