Patriots DL Christian Barmore treated for blood clots; no timetable for return

New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore was diagnosed and subsequently treated for blood clots over the weekend, the team announced Sunday.

The Patriots released a statement following their training camp practice, adding that there was no timeline for when Barmore would be able to return to football activities.

"Over the weekend, Christian Barmore was diagnosed with blood clots," the statement read. "He was appropriately treated by the doctors at Mass General Brigham, who tested, evaluated and treated Christian. Our principal concern at this time is Christian's health and wellbeing. Fortunately, Mass General Brigham provides some of the best healthcare in the world. While there is no current timetable for his return, we know Christian is getting tremendous care and we look forward to his full recovery."

Barmore, who turned 25 on Sunday, was a second-round selection of New England in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Through three seasons, Barmore has played in 44 games with 11 starts and 12.5 sacks, including a career-best 8.5 last season. He signed a four-year, $83 million extension this year.
