FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — New England defensive tackle Christian Barmore was active for the Patriots’ game against the Los Angeles Rams after being out since July with blood clots. Barmore was removed from the NFL’s non-football illness list on Saturday. The 25-year-old practiced for the first time this season on Thursday and posted on Instagram ‘Where there’s no pain, there is no gain.’ Barmore appeared in all 17 games last season and had 8 1/2 sacks and 65 tackles. His diagnosis with blood clots was discovered after the Patriots opened training camp.
