Barmore (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Barmore was on the Patriots' reserve/NFI list for the first 10 games of the regular season after being diagnosed with blood clots during training camp. He was activated from the NFI list Saturday, and he will make his 2024 regular-season debut Sunday. Given his lengthy absence and the fact he has just one practice under his belt, Barmore will likely operate on a snap count as the Patriots' ramp up the 2021 second-round pick, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.

The Patriots activated Barmore (illness) from the reserve/non-football injury list Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots in August, which prevented him from playing over the first 10 games of the regular season. Although he was a DNP in Friday's practice, head coach Jerod Mayo suggested Barmore would play Sunday against the Rams and would likely be limited to 10-to-20 defensive snaps, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. Barmore had a breakout season in 2023, during which he logged 64 tackles (39 solo), including 8.5 sacks, six pass defenses and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season games.

Head coach Jared Mayo stated Wednesday that Barmore (illness) could begin practicing soon, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Barmore has been on the non-football illness list since August when he was diagnosed with blood clots. A potential return this season for the Alabama product would be a major boost to the Patriots' defensive front, as they progress through the second half of the season.

Coach Jerod Mayo said Monday that Barmore (illness) was getting "close" to returning to practice, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Barmore has been on New England's non-football injury list for the entire season while dealing with blood clots, but it seems there's a growing chance he'll be able to play at some point in 2024. If the Patriots saw fit to activate him during the week, his next chance to suit up would come Sunday at Chicago.

The Patriots are reportedly bracing for the possibility that Barmore, who is on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list while being treated for blood clots, might not play this coming season, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Per Fowler, the team won't rush Barmore back, so the defensive tackle will continue to focus on his recovery and remain sidelined indefinitely. In his absence, the Patriots are expected to lean more heavily on interior linemen Davon Godchaux and Jeremiah Pharms, Adam London of NESN reports.
