In a significant roster move, the New England Patriots have activated defensive tackle Christian Barmore from the non-football illness list, allowing him to make his season debut against the Rams. Barmore, who has been sidelined since July due to health issues related to blood clots, returned to practice and is expected to play in the upcoming game. His activation is considered great news for the Patriots, who are looking to bolster their defense. The team has also made additional roster adjustments, including releasing wide receiver Tyquan Thornton.
