Dec 15, 2024; Glendale, Arizona, USA; New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore (90) against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images New England Patriots starting defensive tackle Christian Barmore, who was limited to just four games last season because of an issue with blood clots, is expected to join the team next week for its voluntary offseason program.
That’s according to first-year head coach Mike Vrabel, who talked with reporters Monday at the NFL’s annual meeting in Palm Beach, Fla.
Vrabel said he saw Barmore, 25, recently and could tell by the lineman’s “energy and presence” that he was feeling better but that medical staff would continue to monitor him.
“It’s something very serious. We take the health of our players extremely serious, especially when you’re talking about something like blood clots,” Vrabel said, adding the team would develop a plan for him.
Barmore, taken by the Patriots in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, missed the first 10 games last season. He played in four games, then missed the rest of the season due to a recurrence of the blood clots.
In 48 career games (11 starts), Barmore has 13.5 sacks, 139 tackles, 33 QB hits and one forced fumble. He signed four-year, $83 million contract extension with the franchise on April 29, 2024.

Giannis Antetokounmpo denies talking to Bucks about future with team, but his agent could be another story
Trade speculation has surrounded Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks for weeks now, ever since a report came out that the former MVP was talking to the team about his future with the franchise.The situation hasn't been helped by a lack of communication from the man himself. Not long after the report emerged, Antetokounmpo went down with a calf strain and didn't speak to reporters again until Thursday.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThere was plenty to talk about with the Bucks sitting at 11-16, but the trade rumors were unavoidable.

Janotka po bláznivém postupu: Zajíce jsme chytili na parkovišti. Rád by dostal Crystal Palace
Sigma se prakticky celou dobu v průběžné tabulce Konferenční ligy držela vzdor nepříznivého stavu proti polskému mistrovi mezi postupovou čtyřiadvacítkou týmů. Pak přišly dva obří zvraty. Nejprve odsun mimo postupové příčky po vyrovnání bosenského Zrinjskiho Mostaru proti Rapidu Vídeň na 1:1. A o několik dlouhých minut později návrat na 24. příčku, když AEK Atény v 15. minutě nastavení proměnou penaltou dokonaly obrat na 3:2 proti rumunské Craiově.„Někdo z kluků nevěřícně koukal do mobilu a řekl nám to. Ze zklamání propukly obrovské emoce,“ líčil olomoucký kouč Janotka.Zažil jste ve fotbale bláznivější moment?Možná bych zmínil jednu věc z aktuálního ročníku MOL Cupu, ale asi na to nechci vzpomínat.
