The Patriots might be without arguably their most impactful defensive player for the full 2024 season.
Defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been ruled out since late July due to blood clots, with the 25-year-old budding star currently on the Non-Football Injury List at the start of the season.
Even though Barmore has been spotted in the Patriots’ locker room this week ahead of Week 1, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted in his latest insider column that New England is aware that the defensive lineman may not be cleared for game action before the 2024 campaign wraps up.
