Overview
- Mike Vrabel confirmed he sat Barmore for the entire first quarter to protect the team after actions he said were not in line with team expectations.
- Speaking Wednesday, Barmore declined to detail the reason, repeated that he has moved on, and affirmed strong rapport with Vrabel, saying, “That’s my guy.”
- Barmore returned in the second quarter versus the Browns, played roughly 30 snaps, and generated multiple quarterback pressures in the 32-13 win.
- He practiced midweek, and local reporting indicates he should be available for Sunday’s home game against the Falcons.
- Coverage notes the club’s ongoing workload caution given Barmore’s 2024 blood-clot history and cites his four-year extension reported in the mid-$80 million range, as one outlet characterized the infraction as fairly harmless without official specifics.
