Barmore Back for Patriots' Seahawks Clash | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, all right, let's talk about some Patriots news. Defensive tackle Christian Barmore missed practice earlier this week with a knee issue, but the good word is, head coach Mike Rable expects him back. On the field Monday, this is a big deal for New England, especially with their season opener against the Seahawks looming. Barmore is a cornerstone of their defensive line, and losing him would be a serious blow. Rable mentioned that managing Barmore's workload is something they've done before, even last season, and he trusts how Christian prepares. It sounds like this isn't a major concern, more of a precautionary measure. Last year, Barmore played in all 17 regular season games and started 16, racking up 29 tackles and two sacks. He also generated a lot of pressure, even if the sack numbers didn't always reflect it. He's been working on finishing those plays more consistently. This is especially significant given what he went through in 2024. Barmore only played in

1:00four games that season because of blood clots, so his ability to stay healthy and on the field throughout last year was a huge step forward for him. And with Seattle, the team that beat them in the Super Bowl, coming up, having Barmore healthy and ready to go in the middle of that defense, is exactly what the Patriots need. It's good to see him potentially back in action. Football news powered by AI. This is NFL News Today.
