FOXBOXO — Patriots defensive tackle Christian Barmore is one of 10 players listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Rams.

Barmore returned to practice for the first time since July in Thursday’s session but didn’t participate Friday. Barmore’s absence is part of a ramp-up period as he weans off of blood thinners. The Patriots must limit his exertion in back-to-back days, but it remains possible that he could play this week.

Patriots-Rams injury report: Christian Barmore limited in first practice since late July

CB Alex Austin (ankle), S Kyle Dugger (ankle), DT Daniel Ekuele (abdomen), LB Christian Elliss (abdomen), T Vederian Lowe (shoulder), S Marte Mapu (neck), DT Jaquelin Roy (neck), LB Sione Takitaki (knee) and DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (foot) are also questionable.

CB Isaiah Bolden, CB Marcellas Dial Jr., TE Hunter Henry and WR Tyquan Thornton were removed from the list.

Barmore (non-football illness list, blood clots) and Austin (injured reserve) would need to be activated to the 53-man roster to play Sunday. The Patriots would need to open up spots on the roster for either player.

Dugger and Elliss missed last Sunday’s win over the Bears, so their status bears monitoring. Takitaki didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday but got in a limited practice Friday.
