Christian Barmore Injury News & Updates
May 15, 2025
Good to go
Barmore (illness) said Thursday that he's past his blood clot issue, cleared for offseason workouts and expecting to play Week 1, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle was diagnosed with blood clots ahead of the 2024 campaign and then missed the first 10 games. After returning for four contests, his symptoms came back, forcing him onto the reserve/non-football illness list for the final three weeks of the season. The Alabama product and 2021 second-round pick recorded 64 tackles (39 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and six pass breakups in 2023, his last healthy season.
Mar 31, 2025
Expected to be available in April
Speaking Monday, new Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Barmore (illness) is expected to be available for the start of the offseason workout program next month, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots last summer and missed the first 10 games of the 2024 season before being cleared to play in November. Barmore appeared in four games before experiencing recurred symptoms, leading to his placement on the reserve/NFI list for the final three contests of the year. Barmore's return would be a massive boost to New England's defensive line.
Dec 19, 2024
Placed on non-football injury list
New England announced Thursday that Barmore (illness) has been placed on the reserve/non-football illness list.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots' official statement reads: "The New England Patriots are placing defensive lineman Christian Barmore on the reserve non-football illness list after he experienced some recurring symptoms that required further evaluation. We appreciate everything Christian did to return to the team this season, but our top priority is Christian's health and wellbeing. We know that he will continue to receive tremendous care and we want to ensure that he gets the time he needs to come back stronger than ever." Barmore's placement on the NFI list rules him out for the remainder of the 2024 campaign.
Nov 25, 2024
Notches sack vs. Dolphins
Barmore recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Barmore missed the Patriots' first 10 games this season due to blood clots but returned in Week 11, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the two games since his comeback. The Alabama product's snap share increased from 39 percent in Week 11 to 52 percent in Week 12, and it will likely continue to rise as he regains full football shape. Barmore is expected to remain a disruptive force for New England's defense as the Patriots host the Colts in Week 13.
Nov 24, 2024
Active Sunday
Barmore (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle was listed as questionable, but it was likely due to the team's management of his practice workload after he missed the first 10 games of the season after getting blood clots in August. Barmore played on 20 defensive snaps in his season debut against the Rams last week, making three solo tackles.
Nov 24, 2024
Should play Sunday
Barmore (not injury related) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Patriots seem to be managing Barmore's practice workload after he was diagnosed with blood clots in August and ended up missing the first 10 games of the season before debuting in last Sunday's loss to the Rams. He played 20 snaps and logged three tackles in that game, then sat out practices Wednesday and Friday this week and logged a full session Thursday. Assuming Barmore is officially cleared ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he'll likely have his playing time monitored closely in Miami, but he could see a slight uptick in his snap count from Week 11.
Nov 22, 2024
Questionable for Week 12
Barmore (undisclosed) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Barmore continues to have his workload managed as he works his way back from blood clots which sidelined him until Week 11 against the Rams, and he finished that contest with three solo tackles while playing 20 snaps on defense. Thursday marked Barmore's only practice of the week, but he's expected to suit up for Sunday's AFC East clash.
Nov 17, 2024
Will make 2024 debut
Barmore (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was on the Patriots' reserve/NFI list for the first 10 games of the regular season after being diagnosed with blood clots during training camp. He was activated from the NFI list Saturday, and he will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday. Given his lengthy absence and the fact he has just one practice under his belt, Barmore will likely operate on a snap count as the Patriots' ramp up the 2021 second-round pick, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Nov 16, 2024
Activated off IR
The Patriots activated Barmore (illness) from injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots in August, which prevented him from playing over the first 10 games of the regular season. Although he was a DNP in Friday's practice, head coach Jerod Mayo suggested Barmore would play Sunday against the Rams and would likely be limited to 10-to-20 defensive snaps, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Barmore had a breakout season in 2023, during which he logged 64 tackles (39 solo), including 8.5 sacks, six pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games.
Nov 15, 2024
Could return in Week 11
Barmore (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Alabama product has yet to take the field this season after being diagnosed with blood clots in August. Barmore appears to be trending toward not playing Sunday despite his questionable designation, as he practiced in a limited fashion Thursday before downgrading to a DNP on Friday. If Barmore cannot suit up in Week 11, expect Jeremiah Pharms to see additional work with the Patriots' first-team defensive line.
Nov 14, 2024
Returns to practice Thursday
Barmore (illness) participated at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Barmore was able to make his long-anticipated return to practice ahead of Week 11 after a blood clot diagnosis back in August had kept him off the field up to that point. If he can practice in full Friday, there's a good chance he'd suit up for Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Nov 14, 2024
Expects to practice Thursday
Barmore (illness) is likely to participate at practice Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has spent the entire season thus far on the non-football illness list due to blood clots, but it now looks like he could have a path to suiting up in Week 11. His status will be a point of interest when New England releases its final official practice report of the week Friday.
Nov 13, 2024
Progressed toward return
Head coach Jared Mayo stated Wednesday that Barmore (illness) could begin practicing soon, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has been on the non-football illness list since August when he was diagnosed with blood clots. A potential return this season for the Alabama product would be a major boost to the Patriots' defensive front, as they progress through the second half of the season.
Nov 4, 2024
Progressing towards return
Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Barmore (illness) was getting "close" to returning to practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has been on New England's non-football injury list for the entire season up to this point dealing with blood clots, but it seems there's a growing chance he'll be able to play at some point in 2024. If the Patriots saw fit to activate him during the week, his next chance to suit up would come Sunday at Chicago.
Sep 5, 2024
Remains out indefinitely
The Patriots are reportedly bracing for the possibility that Barmore, who is on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list while being treated for blood clots, might not play this coming season, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Per Fowler, the team won't rush Barmore back, so the defensive tackle will continue to focus on his recovery and remain sidelined indefinitely. In his absence, the Patriots are expected to lean more heavily on interior linemen Davon Godchaux and Jeremiah Pharms, Adam London of NESN reports.
Aug 28, 2024
Moves to NFI list
Barmore (illness) was placed on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Barmore is currently dealing with blood clots, which were discovered in late July. It's unclear what the timetable for a return is, but he will be eligible to return to action in Week 5 against the Dolphins.
Jul 28, 2024
Diagnosed with blood clots
In a statement released by the Patriots on Sunday, Barmore was treated by doctors over the weekend after being diagnosed with blood clots and there is no timetable for his return.
ANALYSIS
It's a major blow for Barmore, who signed a four-year, $92 million contract extension with the Patriots in April after recording a career-high 8.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games in 2023. The good news for the 2021 second-round pick is that the blood clots were caught by doctors before they caused a serious accident on the field, but his status for the 2024 season is truly up in the air. If Barmore were to miss extended time, Armon Watts and Deatrich Wise could be candidates to start on New England's defensive front alongside Keion White, Davon Godchaux, Matthew Judon and Josh Uche.
Apr 29, 2024
Lands big extension in New England
New England signed Barmore to a four-year, $92 million extension on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal contains $41.8 million guaranteed, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports. It's the largest non-Tom Brady contract handed out in Patriots history. A second-round pick in 2021, Barmore recorded a career-best 8.5 sacks last season after totaling just four across his first two years in the league. Barmore is a foundational piece along New England's defensive front.
Jan 14, 2024
Leads team with 8.5 sacks
Barmore finished the 2023 regular season with 64 tackles, to go along with a team-high 8.5 sacks in 17 games with the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Barmore, who Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site called the team's best overall player this past season, remains under contract with New England in 2024 and is viewed as a potential candidate for an extension this offseason. Regardless if such a deal happens, the 2021 second-round is slated to reprise his role as a key interior lineman during Jerod Mayo's first campaign as the franchise's head coach.
Jan 7, 2024
Suiting up Sunday
Barmore (knee) is active Sunday against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Barmore completed a full week of limited practices, helping pave the way for him to take the field in Week 18. His ability to suit up should benefit New England's depth at nose tackle.
Jan 5, 2024
Questionable for Sunday
Barmore (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was able to log a week of limited practice sessions after sustaining an apparent knee injury, and he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday. If the third-year pro is unable to go in Week 18, Davon Godchaux would likely see even more snaps on the Patriots' defensive line.
Jan 4, 2024
Limited to open week
Barmore (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has been limited at each of the team's first two sessions of the week as he's been dealing with an apparent knee injury. The defensive lineman will have one more chance to log a full practice Friday before the team's final injury report comes out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Jets.
Jan 2, 2024
Solid output in loss
Barmore logged six total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 27-21 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 second-round pick out of Alabama had never logged six-plus tackles in one game throughout his first forty appearances, but he's now hit this mark in three consecutive games going back to Week 15. Barmore has definitely had the best year of his career thus far, appearing in 16 games and recording 54 total tackles, including 11 tackles for loss and 8.5 sacks (all career-highs). Expect the up-and-coming nose tackle to continue his stretch of productivity in Week 18 against the Jets.
Dec 31, 2023
Available Sunday
Barmore (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Barmore drew a questionable designation following Friday's final injury report, but his health is good enough to give it a go Sunday. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual responsibilities on the interior defensive line for New England.
Dec 26, 2023
Wreaks havoc in Week 17 win
Barmore recorded eight tackles (five solo), including three sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 26-23 win against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was a force the Broncos couldn't reckon with Sunday, as he got to Russell Wilson in the backfield on three occasions. All of his sacks came in the third quarter, and the final one -- on the last play of the period -- resulted in a fumble, though Denver was able to recover. Barmore posted a modest 3.0 sacks over his first 10 games of the season, but he's taken off with 5.5 sacks over five contests since New England's Week 11 bye.
Dec 24, 2023
Good to go versus Denver
Barmore (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was able to log limited practice sessions leading up to Week 16 and has progressed enough to play Sunday. He hasn't missed a game all season and has accumulated 40 tackles (25 solo), including 5.5 sacks, in 14 games as the backup nose tackle behind Davon Godchaux.
Dec 22, 2023
Could play Week 16
Barmore (shoulder) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday night's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Barmore seems to have suffered a shoulder injury at some point within the last week, and after a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot at suiting up Sunday night. The 24-year-old is coming off what was debatably the best game of his season, but if he's unable to suit up in Week 16, expect Davon Godchaux to get even more snaps on the Patriots' defensive line.
Dec 19, 2023
Season high tackles in loss
Barmore recorded six tackles (four solo), including a sack, in Sunday's 27-17 loss to Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was able to get to Patrick Mahomes for a sack while his six total stops were a season high. The nose tackle has now produced 40 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, while also deflecting six passes over 14 contests in 2023.
Dec 17, 2023
Suiting up versus Kansas City
Barmore (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Barmore didn't practice Friday after being a limited participant in the first two sessions of the week, but he'll be on the field Sunday. He has seven tackles (four solo), including 1.5 sacks, over his last three games since the Patriots' Week 11 bye.
Dec 15, 2023
Questionable versus Kansas City
Barmore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Barmore started the week logging back-to-back limited sessions, but did not practice Friday and his status for Sunday's game looks truly up in the air. He has 34 tackles (21 solo), including 4.5 sacks, in 13 games this season.
Nov 28, 2023
Secures sack in loss
Barmore recorded three tackles (two solo), including a sack, while also deflecting a pass in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was able to get to the quarterback for the first time since Week 8, securing his fourth sack of the year. The nose tackle has now compiled 30 tackles, including the four sacks, while also deflecting a career-high six passes in 2023.
Oct 1, 2023
Ready to roll
Barmore (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was listed as a limited participant at practice each day of Week 4 prep, but he'll still suit up versus Dallas. Across three games, the 2021 second-round pick has recorded five tackles, a sack and a pass defense in 103 defensive snaps.
Sep 30, 2023
Game-time decision
Barmore (knee) has drawn a questionable designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was a limited participant at practice each day this week. His status Sunday will likely be determined by how his knee is feeling closer to kick off. With Davon Godchaux (ankle) also questionable, the Patriots could be thin on their interior defensive line Sunday.
Dec 17, 2022
Activated off IR
Barmore (knee) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Barmore will make his return to action Sunday against the Raiders after being out since Week 6. The third-year pro will look to improve a Patriots pass rush that has already been dominant as they look to make a playoff push.
Dec 14, 2022
Back at practice
Barmore (knee) participated at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has missed New England's last seven games, though his presence at practice signals that the Patriots will likely activate him from their injured reserve list soon. The 2021 second-rounder should provide a big boost to the defensive line whenever he's ready to play again.
Nov 20, 2022
Doesn't need surgery
After being placed on injured reserve Friday due to knee inflammation, Barmore isn't expected to require surgery, and he's in line to return after his required four-game absence, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has missed each of the Patriots' last three contests due to knee inflammation, and he was then placed on injured reserve Friday as a result. However, after much rest and rehab, the 23-year-old anticipates returning at the earliest possible date for the Week 15 matchup in Las Vegas. In Barmore's absence, Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale are both slated to handle an increased workload behind starters Davon Godchaux and Deatrich Wise.
Nov 18, 2022
Lands on IR
The Patriots placed Barmore (knee) on injured reserve Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reprots.
ANALYSIS
Barmore hasn't played since Week 6 due to a knee injury and will now be sidelined for at least four additional games. Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale have both seen increased snaps during Barmore's absence, though Davis' role has dwindled over New England's last two contests.
Nov 18, 2022
Remains out
Barmore (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Barmore hasn't played since Week 6 due to a knee injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale will continue to be candidates for increased snaps during the duration of Barmore's absence.
Nov 6, 2022
Not playing Sunday
Barmore (knee) is inactive Sunday against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Barmore hasn't played since Week 6 and will continue to miss time. Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale will continue to see extra opportunity in his absence.
Nov 4, 2022
Questionable for Week 9
Barmore (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has missed the last two games due to a knee injury but returned to practice in a limited capacity for each of the Patriots' three practice sessions this week. If he's unable to suit up once again in Week 9, Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale should continue to see additional work.
Nov 2, 2022
Back at practice
Barmore (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore has missed back-to-back games due to a knee issue but returned to practice Wednesday for the first time since suffering the injury. The second-year defensive tackle will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full participant before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Oct 28, 2022
Won't play Sunday
Barmore (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore picked up a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 6 win over the Browns and will remain sidelined for a second straight contest due to the issue. In his absence, Carl Davis and Daniel Ekulae figure to continue seeing increased reps in the middle of New England's defensive line.
Oct 24, 2022
Won't play Monday
Barmore (knee) was ruled inactive ahead of Monday's game against the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Barmore did not return after exiting with a knee injury during last week's win over the Browns and was limited in practice leading up to this tilt against the Bears. The second-year nose tackle recorded 15 tackles and one sack over the first six games of the season, leaving Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale to step into bigger roles behind Davon Godchaux in Week 7.
Oct 16, 2022
Won't return Sunday
Barmore (knee) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Barmore recorded two tackles before exiting during the first half with a knee injury. The 23-year-old logged 13 tackles on 181 defensive snaps over the first five games of the season, and his next chance to play will come Monday, Oct. 24 versus the Bears.
Oct 16, 2022
Exits Sunday
Barmore (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Barmore went down with a knee injury during the first half before exiting against Cleveland, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports. With the second-year nose tackle out for the time being, expect Carl Davis and Daniel Ekuale to play bigger roles behind Davon Godchaux.
Jan 15, 2022
Suiting up for wild-card round
Barmore (knee) is listed as active Saturday at Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was carted off the field during the Patriots' season finale at Miami, but a subsequent MRI on his knee Monday was returned clean. He proceeded to log limited practices Tuesday through Thursday, which was enough to clear him to man his typical spot in the interior of New England's defensive line.
Jan 10, 2022
MRI comes back clean
Barmore (knee) underwent an MRI on Monday that came back clean, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore had to be carted off the field in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he isn't believed to be dealing with any structural damage in his knee. His status for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Buffalo isn't yet clear, but Monday's update is certainly encouraging.
Jan 9, 2022
Carted off in loss
Barmore was carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins due to an apparent foot injury, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
Barmore recorded five tackles (four solo) prior to leaving Sunday's matchup in the second half. The exact nature of his injury isn't yet clear, and whether he's available to begin the postseason remains to be seen.
Oct 24, 2021
Starting against Jets
Barmore (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
The rookie was limited at practice throughout the week, but he is fit enough to play in this one. His presence should provide a boost and continuity to the defensive line, as he has already played 208 snaps through six games this year.
Oct 23, 2021
Listed as questionable for Sunday
Barmore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Barmore was limited at practice all week and will likely be a game-time decision Sunday. The rookie has played over 200 defensive snaps through the first six games, so if he is unable to suit up, it would be a big blow to the Patriots' defensive line.
Oct 17, 2021
Hurts shoulder Sunday
Barmore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys with a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Barmore's absence leaves the Patriots without one of their rotational options at defensive tackle. Carl Davis should pick up the slack in the meantime.
