FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore will be activated to the 53-man roster Saturday, setting the stage for him to return to action for the first time since being sidelined in late July after being diagnosed with blood clots, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Barmore practiced for the first time Thursday, with coach Jerod Mayo saying there was a chance Barmore could play in a limited role in Sunday's home game against the Los Angeles Rams if cleared by doctors.
"We will see what he can handle and build from there," Mayo said.
