New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel announced that defensive tackle Christian Barmore is expected to participate in the upcoming voluntary offseason program starting April 7. Barmore faced serious health setbacks last season due to blood clots, missing the first 10 games before returning for four games, only to be sidelined again with recurring issues. His anticipated involvement in the offseason program signals a positive recovery trajectory after a promising 2023 season where he recorded 64 tackles and 8.5 sacks. The Patriots have also made significant moves by signing former Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, which could enhance the team’s defensive lineup significantly if Barmore stays healthy.
