Christian Barmore is stepping into a Patriots role he cannot afford to waste

The New England Patriots are one of the top teams in the NFL this season, entering Week 12 with a league-best 9-2 record. Mike Vrabel has quickly turned things around, and Drake Maye has made a phenomenal second-year leap.

There’s not much to complain about in New England, but the team still has to navigate inevitable hiccups like injuries.

One injury the Patriots are currently trying to navigate is Milton Williams' high ankle sprain. The veteran defensive tackle was recently placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least four games.
