Christian Barmore is inching closer to a return to the football field, according to New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo.
Barmore, who was hospitalized with blood clots during the first week of training camp, has not played this season. New England’s star defensive tackle remains on the reserve/non-football injury list and can return at any time.
“We’re getting close,” Mayo said during a conference call Monday morning following the team’s 20-17 overtime loss to the Tennessee Titans.
