Patriots not ruling out Christian Barmore for Sunday, Jerod Mayo says ‘there’s a chance’ he plays

The Patriots released their injury report Friday afternoon, and notably did not yet rule out Christian Barmore from Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Barmore returned to practice for the first time this season on Thursday in a limited capacity, and did not participate in Friday’s practice. Despite that, New England head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters there was “a chance” Barmore would be able to suit up in Week 11.

“We have a meeting with the doctors after practice today,” Mayo said. “There is a chance. No, seriously. There is a chance.”

Mayo added that Barmore has been itching to get back to work ever since his blood clots were discovered, and gave his own perspective on how it feels to be sidelined due to something you can’t actually see.
