Patriots DT Christian Barmore returning after blood clot issues

  1. My GOAT. If healthy he plays the Jalen Carter role that allowed Milt to decimate lines last year

  2. Good news but he did the same thing last year and had to stop playing after like 4 games. Hopefully he is on new medication or something and he can get back to normal.

  3. I could see him coming back for a big year and potentially even wearing the C if he comes in with the right mindset!

  4. As a medical provider, I know you need to be on a blood thinner for up to 6 months after a known blood clot. The issue is you obviously can’t play NFL football on a blood thinner like eliquis or xarelto. So hopefully he had a thrombectomy to remove the clot, put on eliquis for the 6 months, and can return back without it recurring. It’s so very unknown.

  5. Crazy how many users in this sub were adamant his career was over. Man didn’t hear no bell! Our box is stacked!

  6. If Carter somehow drops to 4, the pats would have a very scary front 4 of Carter, Barmore, Williams, and Landry.

  7. My wife almost died of a blood clot at 19. Was removed, put on blood thinners for a time, and fine ever since. Daily blood thinners when pregnant, but no issues. It is a genetic issue, idk what Barmore is dealing with. But real life example of NOT being on blood thinners for life after a serious clot in my family.

    Hopefully he is fine moving forward and no more issues! But it’s obviously going to be monitored for him constantly

  8. It sounds more like he’s attempting to return from the blood clot issues.. doesn’t sound like he’s completely back.

    But either way it’s still good news on his recovery/progress

  9. I hope he’s fully healthy and they never come back, because he’s a beast and one of my favorite Pats. LETS GO

  10. Man I am so happy for Barmore the person as I’m sure this has been one of the most trying times in his life. Blood clots are a serious issue (my nana died from one) and if he’s got the management of them under control it’s a massive boon for his quality of life. 

    As for Barmore the player and Patriot, the idea of him playing with Williams has me feelin’ some kinda way. Oof would that be a lethal combo! Plus they’re both only 25 so we’d have that combo for a looong time.
