The New England Patriots have stated that Christian Barmore, their star player, is undergoing treatment at Mass General Brigham due to a diagnosis of blood clots.
The team has reported that doctors at Mass General Brigham have conducted tests, evaluations, and are currently providing treatment for the defensive tackle. They wish him a full and speedy recovery.
The health and well-being of Christian are our primary concerns at this time. Fortunately, Mass General Brigham is known for providing world-class healthcare, as mentioned in the Patriots’ statement.
While there is currently no specific timeframe for his return, we are confident that Christian is receiving exceptional care, and we eagerly await his complete recovery.
Barmore, a native of Pennsylvania, expressed his optimism, stating, “I’ll be back soon.”
In April, Barmore signed a four-year contract extension with the Patriots, earning him a spot within the top 10 highest-paid defensive tackles with a value of $84 million.
The Patriots selected Barmore in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft (No. 38 overall) from the University of Alabama.
Barmore is not the first Patriots player to face blood clot issues in recent years. In 2019, David Andrews, a seasoned Patriots center, missed the entire season due to blood clots in his lungs.
Barmore acknowledged his own role in the situation, admitting, “All of this was partly my fault, just being dumb and pushing through it. I thought I was sick and I really did not feel like myself. It was not like I was having a bad camp. I just was not having a consistent camp.”
Andrews made a successful comeback in 2020 and will enter his 10th season with the team this year.
