Patriots release major update on Christian Barmore's health

The New England Patriots released a statement on Sunday regarding the health of defensive tackle Christian Barmore.

Per the statement, Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots over the weekend, and there is no current timetable for his return. The Patriots are currently in training camp, but their primary concern right now is Barmore’s health.

The statement read:

“Over the weekend, Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots. He was appropriately treated by the doctors at Mass General Brigham, who tested, evaluated and treated Christian.

Our principle concern at this time is Christian’s health and wellbeing. Fortunately, Mass General Brigham provides some of the best healthcare in the world.

While there is no current timetable for his return, Christian is getting tremendous care and we look forward to his full recovery.”

Barmore had a stellar 2023 season, which earned him the biggest non-Tom Brady contract in the Patriots’ franchise history.

He is one of the team’s best players, and his presence on the field will be greatly missed for as long as he’s out. With that said, there are things bigger than football.

The hope now is for Barmore to make a full recovery and return with a clean bill of health.
