Barmore Cleared, Signs Extension for 2025 Return

New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore has been cleared for all football activities after missing most of the 2024 season due to recurring blood clots. Barmore, who signed a lucrative contract extension following a breakout 2023 season, expressed gratitude for his recovery and is focused on following medical advice as he returns to form. He is set to fully participate in OTAs and offseason workouts, with expectations to be ready for the 2025 season opener. Barmore's comeback, along with the addition of defensive tackle Milton Williams, is anticipated to bolster the Patriots' defensive line. Both the team and fans are hopeful that Barmore can avoid further health setbacks and contribute significantly under new head coach Mike Vrabel. This development is a major boost for both Barmore's career and the Patriots' defensive outlook.
