New England Patriots star Christian Barmore has received a devastating diagnosis, with blood clots discovered after hospital treatment in Massachusetts.
The NFL season is just six weeks away, but there is currently no timeline for Barmore’s return to the field.
On Sunday, the Patriots announced that Barmore, who turned 25 on the same day, had been diagnosed with blood clots.
“Our primary concern at this time is Christian’s health and wellbeing,” the Patriots said in a statement. “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’s agent, Nicole Lynn, also expressed gratitude to the Patriots’ trainer, Jim Whalen, for his role in the diagnosis and treatment process.
“I would be remiss if I did not thank the Patriots’ trainer, Jim Whalen, for his absolute diligence and care over the last couple of days,” Lynn said. “Today could have looked a lot different without Jim’s persistent and expertise.”
Barmore is entering his fourth NFL season, having signed a four-year, $84 million extension with New England in April, making him one of the league’s 10 highest-paid defensive tackles.
Drafted in the second round out of Alabama by the Patriots in 2021, Barmore has tallied 133 tackles, 12.5 sacks, and 32 quarterback hits over 44 games, including 11 starts.
