Barmore's Return to Practice Boosts Patriots

Christian Barmore, a defensive tackle for the New England Patriots, returned to practice for the first time since being diagnosed with blood clots in July, marking a significant development for the team. His participation was limited, and while his return to the field is seen as a blessing, coaches emphasized managing expectations and taking it one day at a time. The Patriots have a 21-day window to decide whether to activate him from the non-football injury list. Barmore's potential return is exciting for the team, although it's uncertain if he will play in the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams. In related NFL news, Isaiah Likely of the Ravens and Marshawn Lloyd of the Packers were limited in practice this week due to injuries, while Reggie Gilliam of the Bills participated fully after missing two games.
