New England announced Thursday that Barmore (illness) has been placed on the reserve/non-football illness list. The Patriots' official statement reads: "The New England Patriots are placing defensive lineman Christian Barmore on the reserve non-football illness list after he experienced some recurring symptoms that required further evaluation. We appreciate everything Christian did to return to the team this season, but our top priority is Christian's health and wellbeing. We know that he will continue to receive tremendous care and we want to ensure that he gets the time he needs to come back stronger than ever." Barmore's placement on the NFI list rules him out for the remainder of the 2024 campaign.

Barmore recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins. Barmore missed the Patriots' first 10 games this season due to blood clots but returned in Week 11, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the two games since his debut. The Alabama product's snap share increased from 39 percent in Week 11 to 52 percent in Week 12, and it will likely continue to rise as he regains full football shape. Barmore is expected to remain a disruptive force for New England's defense as the Patriots host the Colts in Week 13.

Barmore (undisclosed) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins. The defensive tackle was listed as questionable, but it was likely due to the team's management of his practice workload after he missed the first 10 games of the season after getting blood clots in August. Barmore played on 20 defensive snaps in his season debut against the Rams last week, making three solo tackles.

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.
