FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Patriots starting defensive tackle Christian Barmore said Thursday that he has been cleared for football activity after having his 2024 season cut short due to a recurrence of blood clots.
Barmore, who relayed he will be a full participant when voluntary organized activities begin next week, also anticipates being ready for action in the Sept. 7 season opener against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.
"Yeah. That's the goal. I just have to keep following the medical team, but everything is looking really well," Barmore said.
Barmore, who was limited to four games last season after landing on the non-football illness list in early December, has been a consistent participant in the Patriots' voluntary offseason program over the last six weeks.
