Patriots' Christian Barmore: Should play Sunday
Christian Barmore (not injury related) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins but is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.The New England Patriots seem to be managing Barmore's practice workload after he was diagnosed with blood clots in August and ended up missing the first 10 games of the season before debuting in last Sunday's loss to the Rams. He played 20 snaps and logged three tackles in that game, then sat out practices Wednesday and Friday this week and logged a full session Thursday.
