Patriots defensive line coach DeMarcus Covington provided an update.

“I think he’s doing everything he can to be on the field to be the best version of myself every day,” Covington said when asked about Barmore’s toe. “And so that’s, that’s kind of what I feel for him, you know, all the other questions related go to Belichick on that or Christian himself.

“Just know that he’s working hard to improve every day doing everything he needs to do alright from the beginning in the morning to late at night.”

What about Barmore’s work ethic and ability to soak up all the lessons from his coaches? Covington is impressed. He explained that Barmore is trying to learn everything about the defense. He listens to coaches and absorbs their advice.

“Christian has really, with a worker’s attitude, trying to learn everything, soak up everything on a defense, learn everything from the coaches,” Covington told reporters. “Also learn from the vets, the guys who, you know, done it in the league and done it at a high level and really coming every day is trying to give his best effort to help the football team out. So, couldn’t be more proud of his progress to the offseason to now, where he is in training camp.”

If Barmore continues to be consistent, he will have a better future with the Patriots. He can definitely be an impact player on defense. The depth chart is pretty stacked and this goes against Barmore’s chances to earn a spot on the active roster.
