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.
