New England Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore posted a message on social media on Sunday, following the news that he is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with blood clots.
Per a statement released by the Patriots, Barmore was tested, evaluated and treated for the blood clots at Mass General Brigham. Now, he’s shifting his focus towards recovering and eventually rejoining his teammates on the football field.
The Patriots opened training camp last week, and they’ll surely miss Barmore if he’s out for an extended period of time.
“Thank you everyone for all the support, thoughts, and prayers. I’ll be back soon,” Barmore posted in an Instagram story.

Barmore’s agent, Nicole Lynn, thanked Patriots trainer Jim Whalen for his “expertise” on the situation.
“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. Today could have looked a lot different without Jim’s persistent and expertise,” Lynn posted on X.
An even scarier situation was likely avoided in this outcome, and that’s something everyone can be thankful for.
