Barmore (illness) took part in practice Thursday after being designated for return from the reserve/non-football illness list, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

As expected, Barmore was able to make his long-anticipated return to practice this week after he had been off the field since being diagnosed with blood clots in August. Given the amount of time he's missed, Barmore could need to get in multiple full practices before the Patriots are comfortable adding him back to the 53-man roster and clearing him for his season debut. The standout defensive tackle recorded 8.5 sacks among his 64 tackles and forced a fumble over his 17 appearances for New England in 2023.
