Defensive tackle Christian Barmore practiced for the first time this season with his New England Patriots teammates on Thursday. Barmore was hospitalized for blood clots when New England convened for training camp in July, and he has spent the season on the reserve/non-football injury list.

Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore was a limited participant at Thursday’s practice, his first since being diagnosed with blood clots in late July. Barmore was one of eight players limited, including safety Kyle Dugger.

Barmore’s participation means the Patriots have opened the 21-day window to activate him to the 53-man roster.
