New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo indicated there’s a chance that defensive tackle Christian Barmore could play in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams. Barmore returned to practice on Thursday for his first practice since being placed on the non-football injury list over the summer due to blood clots.

Barmore practiced with the team for the first time since developing blood clots in July and head coach Jerod Mayo said at his Friday press conference that Barmore is feeling well after his return to action. Mayo also touched on when Barmore might be back in the lineup for game action.

On Friday, New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo compared Christian Barmore’s return to a free agent signing, and said “there’s a chance” the fourth-year defensive tackle plays on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams at Gillette Stadium.
