New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore is making the most of his time on the field this week during joint practices with the Minnesota Vikings.
Just one year removed from being diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs, Barmore is happy to be back playing the game he loves. Still, the Alabama product remains cognizant of the need for head coach Mike Vrabel and sports performance director Frank Piraino to carefully manage his workload. Accordingly, Barmore was a full participant in Thursday’s practice in Eagan, MN after being limited in his duties on Wednesday.
