Christian Barmore Diagnosed with Blood Clots

New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots over the weekend and is currently undergoing treatment at Mass General Brigham Hospital. Barmore, who recently signed a four-year, $84 million contract extension, is out indefinitely with no set timetable for his return. The team has emphasized that their primary concern is his health and well-being. Barmore's agent, Nicole Lynn, expressed gratitude to Patriots trainer Jim Whalen for his persistence in identifying the issue. The 25-year-old had a standout season in 2023, recording 8.5 sacks and 64 tackles, and was projected to be a key player for the upcoming season.
