Former Alabama DT out indefinitely due to blood clots

Christian Barmore (#90) celebrates a big play for Patriots in matchup versus New York Jets

Christian Barmore will be out indefinitely due to being diagnosed with blood clots, according to a statement released by the New England Patriot.

The team made theannouncemeng Sunday. 

“Our principal concern at this time is Christian’s health and well-being,” the team said in a statement. “Fortunately, Mass General Brigham provides some of the best healthcare in the world. While there is no current timetable for his return, we know Christian is getting tremendous care, and we look forward to his full recovery.” The franchise announced on social media.

This news comes after Barmore was not on the field for practice Sunday after the team opened their 2024 training camp earlier in the week. Barmore had began camp as a full participant but became limited, now out indefinitely due to his diagnosis.

The former Alabama defender recorded a career-high 8.5 sacks and 39 solo tackles in 17 games last season. The 2021 second round draft pick and New England agreed to terms on a new 4-year, $92 million contract extension, with over $40 million in guaranteed money this offseason. This deal made Barmore the highest paid player in Patriots history, not named Tom Brady.

Barmore also turned 25 years old on Sunday. The fifth-year DT’s agent, Nicole Lynn, underscored the severity of Barmore’s medical status on social media and thanked Patriots trainer Jim Whalen for his expertise in quickly assessing Barmore.

New England have since placed Barmore on the teams reserved/injured list as his return for the 2024 season is unclear.
