Patriots' Christian Barmore Ends Season After Recurring Health Setback
The defensive tackle was placed back on the non-football illness list following symptoms related to his blood clot diagnosis earlier this year.
- Christian Barmore, 25, has been placed on the reserve non-football illness list by the New England Patriots, effectively ending his 2024 season.
- The move follows recurring symptoms tied to the blood clots he was diagnosed with in July, which had initially sidelined him for the first 10 games of the season.
- Barmore returned to play in Week 11 but participated in only four games, recording six tackles and one sack before the setback.
- The Patriots emphasized their priority is Barmore's health and well-being, with no timetable provided for his return to football.
- Barmore, a key defensive player, signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension in April after a breakout 2023 season with career-high stats.
