The New England Patriots will try for its sixth victory against the New York Jets on Sunday, but it will be down a defensive lineman.
Christian Barmore, an Alabama football alum, has been ruled out because of a knee injury.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss and Field Yates reported the news as the former second-round pick has dealt with injuries all season. Barmore has 15 tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss in six games. He showed tremendous potential as a rookie in 2021 with 46 tackles, three tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and two passes defended. The 6-foot-4, 310-pounder has been placed on injured reserve.
