  • Gilmore has allowed -4.6 RecOE as the nearest defender in coverage since Week 4, fewest among all CBs

    Updated Tue, Nov 28 at 9:20am
  • Picks off another pass Monday

    Gilmore recorded three tackles (three solo) and one interception in the Cowboys' Week 6 win over the Chargers Monday night.

    Analysis: Gilmore's late fourth-quarter interception essentially sealed the win for Dallas and was his second in six games to open the season. The 33-year-old has started all 16 contests and continues to play at a high level for a Cowboys defense that lost fellow starting CB Trevon Diggs to a torn ACL earlier in the season.

  • Secures pick in Dallas debut

    Gilmore recorded four tackles and three passes defended, including an interception, in Sunday's 40-0 rout of the Giants.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' defense dominated the game, and Gilmore made an impact in his debut for the club by plucking an errant Daniel Jones throw early in the second quarter. The veteran cornerback hasn't pulled down more than two INTs in a season since 2019, but with an aggressive, star-studded Dallas defense giving QBs little time and few opportunities to make optimal choices, Gilmore could see a lot more chances to create turnovers than he's been used to.

  • Looking healthy this spring

    Gilmore (wrist) has been a regular participant in spring practices, Layten Praytor of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys traded for Gilmore in March after his rebound season with the Colts last year. If he can do it again in his age-33 season ahead, Dallas will have one of the best CB duos in the league between Gilmore and Trevon Diggs. There doesn't seem to have been any lingering issue with the wrist injury that prevented Gilmore from playing Week 18 last year.

  • Going to Dallas

    The Colts are in line to trade Gilmore (wrist) to the Cowboys for a 2023 fifth-round compensatory pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Although Gilmore -- who should be past the wrist injury that sidelined him in Week 18 last season -- is no longer the shutdown corner he was a few years ago, he's still excellent in coverage. He should immediately step in as a starter across from Trevon Diggs, giving the Cowboys an excellent pair of outside corners. Gilmore will benefit from the pressure that Micah Parsons and the Dallas defense can put on opposing quarterbacks, as it should lower the amount of time he's in coverage. That level…read more

  • Inactive for season finale

    Gilmore (wrist) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: Gilmore didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to a wrist injury, but he still had a chance to suit up after drawing a questionable tag. However, the veteran quarterback will ultimately be sidelined for the Colts' season finale, marking his first absence of the campaign. Gilmore will finish his first season in Indianapolis with 66 tackles, 11 pass defenses and two interceptions across 16 appearances.

  • Officially questionable for Week 18

    Gilmore (wrist) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

    Analysis: Gilmore didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to a wrist injury but will still have a chance to suit up for the Colts' season finale. The veteran cornerback has yet to miss a game this season, totaling 66 tackles, 11 pass defenses and two interceptions across 16 appearances.

  • Sees full action Thursday

    Gilmore (ribs) returned to practice Thursday as a full participant.

    Analysis: Despite having played every defensive snap during Sunday's loss to the Commanders, Gilmore popped up on the injury report Wednesday as a DNP in practice with an apparent rib issue. However, the 11-year veteran returned to Thursday's session in full capacity, implying that his injury is no longer a concern. Gilmore is slated to operate in his usual role as the team's No. 1 cornerback for his homecoming matchup in New England on Sunday.

  • Missing practice with rib injury

    Gilmore (ribs) did not participate at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at New England.

    Analysis: It's a new injury for Gilmore, who to this point has played in all eight of Indianapolis' games in 2022. The two-time All-Pro corner's status will certainly be one to monitor for the Colts through the week, and Brandon Facyson would be in line for extended reps if Gilmore can't go Sunday.

  • Clears injury designation

    Gilmore (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday.

    Analysis: Gilmore was forced out early in Sunday's win over the Chiefs with the injury. However, after logging a limited practice Wednesday, the veteran corner was a full participant Thursday. He should be good to go Sunday against the Titans.

  • Forced out Sunday

    Gilmore (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports

    Analysis: Gilmore was seen running to the Colts' locker room after exiting with a hamstring issue in the first half against Kansas City, James Palmer of NFL Network reports. In the 32-year-old's absence Brandon Facyson and Isaiah Rodgers will need to step up against the Chiefs' potent passing attack.

  • Three tackles in Colts debut

    Gilmore had three total tackles in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.

    Analysis: Gilmore played on all of the defense's 70 snaps and had a strong game in pass coverage. He allowed four receptions on eight targets for just 33 yards, according to Pro Football Focus. Gilmore signed a two-year, $23 million contract in the offseason to anchor the secondary along with Kenny Moore as starting cornerbacks.

  • Gets two-year deal from Colts

    Gilmore is signing a two-year contract with the Colts, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The deal reportedly has a base value of $23 million, including $14 million guaranteed. Gilmore is 31 years old and missed 14 games over the past two seasons, but he's also just three years removed from a Defensive Player of the Year award (2019, with New England). The Patriots traded him to Carolina last fall while he was recovering from quad surgery, and he played eight games for the Panthers (three starts, two INTs) before missing the final two weeks with a groin injury and COVID-19.

  • Activated off reserve/COVID-19 list

    Gilmore was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: The cornerback was unavailable for the Panthers' season finale in Week 18 after being placed on the COVID list Thursday. Gilmore appeared in eight games for the Panthers this season, making 16 tackles while deflecting two passes and intercepting two others.

  • Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

    Gilmore (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 31-year-old will likely now be unavailable for Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers as he goes through league protocols for COVID-19. In Gilmore's likely absence, Rashaan Melvin would step into a starting role in the Panthers' secondary.

  • Won't play Week 17

    Gilmore (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has been unable to practice this week due to the groin issue and will be sidelined for at least one game. Rashaan Melvin and Keith Taylor should see more run for Carolina in his absence.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Gilmore (groin) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was absent from practice for a second straight day and isn't expected to play Sunday against the Saints. If he's ultimately held out, Rashaan Melvin and Myles Hartsfield could see an uptick in playing time.

  • Not expected to play Sunday

    Gilmore (groin) isn't expected to play Sunday against the Saints, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore sustained a groin injury in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers and was unable to participate in practice Wednesday. Since there are just two games remaining in the regular season, the Panthers could elect to place the 31-year-old on injured reserve.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Gilmore (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore recorded three tackles before leaving the team's Week 16 contest with a groin injury. In his absence, Myles Hartsfield and Keith Taylor are both candidates for increased snaps the rest of the way.

  • Role increasing

    Gilmore is expected to play a larger role in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and his role should continue to increase after that, per defensive coordinator Phil Snow, David Newton of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Snow added that the quadriceps injury Gilmore battled earlier this season still isn't fully healed, though it hasn't been bothersome enough to get mentioned on the injury report in recent weeks. Gilmore played 55 percent of defensive snaps last week against Washington after playing fewer than one third of defensive snaps in each of his first three games with Carolina, and it sounds like that percentage should keep climbing moving forward.

  • Not listed on injury report

    Gilmore (finger) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with Washington, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore dislocated his finger during the team's Week 10 win over the Cardinals but he was able to return to the contest, and it doesn't appear like it will be an issue moving forward. The veteran cornerback hasn't played more than 16 defensive snaps in any of his first three games for the Panthers, but he's been able to register two interceptions in his limited opportunities.

  • Plays through dislocated finger

    Gilmore played through a dislocated finger in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was on the field for just 24 percent of the Panthers' defensive snaps Sunday, but he was able to return to action after he sustained a dislocated finger. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability in practice to begin the week.

    Gilmore (quad) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday, but it appears he will be available for the Panthers on Sunday. The 31-year-old corner has played just 16 defensive snaps in each of his first two contests with Carolina, but he has recorded an interception in both games.

  • Picks off Pats

    Gilmore finished with two solo tackles and made an interception in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Gilmore exacted a bit of revenge on his former team, picking off opposing quarterback Mac Jones during the second quarter. Although four cornerbacks played more snaps than Gilmore on Sunday, the veteran has now made an interception in both his games as a Panther, making a strong early impact.

  • Game-sealing pick in debut

    Gilmore made two tackles (one solo) and an interception in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gilmore, in his first action this season and as a Panther, helped clinch Carolina's victory by picking off opposing quarterback Matt Ryan with under two minutes remaining. Although he only played around a third of the defensive snaps, the one-time Defensive Player of the Year managed to make a big impact. Following his impressive debut, Gilmore will now turn his attention toward a meaningful Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots, which traded Gilmore last month.

    Gilmore (quadriceps) has been activated off the Panthers' PUP list, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore will make his season debut after being sidelined the first seven weeks of the season. He resumed practicing prior to Week 7. It remains to be seen how Carolina will use its recently acquired star cornerback in his first game with the team.

  • Decision to be made Saturday

    Head coach Matt Rhule said Friday that the Panthers will not make a decision about Gilmore's (quadriceps) status until after Saturday's practice, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has been on the PUP list all season, but he was designated to return and resumed practicing ahead of Week 7. However, he wasn't ready to return to action and didn't travel with the team to New York for their Week 7 matchup with the Giants. Gilmore hasn't been ruled out for the Panthers' Week 8 meeting with the Falcons, but the uncertainty surrounding his status isn't encouraging.

  • Week 8 status uncertain

    Coach Matt Rhule wasn't sure Monday if Gilmore (quadriceps) will be healthy enough to make his season debut in Week 8 against the Falcons, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has been on the PUP list all season. The Panthers were hoping to have him available in Week 7 against the Giants, but the veteran cornerback wasn't healthy enough to give it a go. Gilmore's name will be one to watch for once Carolina's injury reports start to come out later in the week.

    Gilmore (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore returned to practice this week and had a chance to make his Panthers debut, but he didn't make the trip to New York for the team's Week 7 matchup. However, the team is hopeful that he'll be able to return against the Falcons on Oct. 31.

    Gilmore (quadriceps) was listed as a limited participant in the Panthers' practice Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was on a pitch count at Carolina's practice Wednesday, with the hope that he'll be able to play Sunday against the Giants. Expect A.J. Bouye and Rashaan Melvin to start to lose opportunities as Gilmore gets closer to making his return to the field. The cornerback's status for Sunday is questionable as of now.

  • Slated to return to practice

    Gilmore (quadriceps) is expected to return to practice ahead of Week 7 against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore began the season on the PUP list, but his practice window will open when first eligible. It's not clear whether the 31-year-old will be ready to play against the Giants since he hasn't practiced in several months and will need to get adjusted to his new team after he was traded from the Patriots to the Panthers in early October.

  • Expected back Week 7

    Panthers GM Scott Fitterer expects Gilmore (quadriceps) to be activated off the PUP list when he's first eligible after Week 6 against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was acquired by Carolina from New England on Wednesday, and he'll need to sit out two more games before being eligible to join his new team's active roster. If activated at that point, his first game would come Oct. 24 versus the Giants. Once healthy, the 31-year-old will provide a major boost to a Panthers' secondary that recently lost rookie eighth overall pick Jaycee Horn to a broken foot.

  • Traded to Carolina

    The Panthers acquired Gilmore (quadriceps) from the Patriots on Wednesday in exchange for a 2023 sixth-round draft choice.

    Analysis: The cornerback is still recovering from a surgically repaired quad, but once he's cleared to play, the NFL's 2019 Defensive Player of the Year will provide Carolina's secondary with a major lift. Meanwhile, with some of the cap space created by Wednesday's deal, the Patriots officially signed linebacker Jamie Collins.

  • Parts ways with Pats

    The Patriots plan to activate Gilmore (quadriceps) from the reserve/PUP list and release him Wednesday after the two sides were unable to come to terms on a restructured contract, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While recovering from surgery to repair a partially torn quad, the four-time Pro Bowler missed New England's first four games of the season and was set to sit out at least two more contests. Before Gilmore returned, the Patriots were hopeful to work out a more team-friendly contract for the cornerback, who is due $7 million in base salary in 2021. By cutting him, the Patriots now have an additional $5.8 million in cap space, while the 31-year-old will be free to seek work elsewhere. The 2019…read more

  • Officially out through Week 6

    Gilmore (quadriceps) will be placed on the reserve/PUP list, ruling him out for the first six games of the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With their top cornerback sidelined for at least six games, the Patriots recently sent draft picks to Baltimore for fifth-round rookie Shaun Wade. The team still has two quality corners in J.C. Jackson and Jonathan Jones, but it isn't clear if Wade, Jalen Mills or Joejuan Williams can step up as a capable No. 3. Either way, Gilmore's absence is a huge loss for a New England defense that was hoping to recapture its 2019 form after an inconsistent 2020.

    Gilmore (quadriceps) is being considered "day-to-day," Chris Mason of MassLive.com reports.

    Analysis: In providing an update on Gilmore, coach Bill Belichick asserted, "When he's ready to be out there, then he'll be out there." The Patriots sorely miss the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, and team's lack of depth at cornerback has shown during training camp. The 30-year-old is still recovering from a torn quadriceps that ended his 2020 season early. In 11 games, the veteran recorded 37 total tackles, one forced fumble and one interception.

  • Shows up for camp

    Gilmore (quadriceps) is present for the start of New England's training camp but will begin on the PUP list, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore didn't attend June minicamp amid ongoing contract negotiations, but the ex-Defensive Player of the Year is in the building to kick off training camp. After ending last season on IR due to a torn quadriceps, Gilmore isn't back to full health quite yet, but there's not yet any significant reason to worry about his status for Week 1.

  • Set to re-open contract talks

    Gilmore (quadriceps) and the Patriots plan to sit down before training camp to work out a deal, Henry Mckenna of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore declined to attend mandatory minicamp in June under the final year of his current $7 million contract. It is unlikely that the ex-Defensive Player of the Year will be traded, as the Patriots appear to have too high of a price tag. The 31-year-old missed the end of last season after being placed on IR due to a quadriceps injury, which may be the reason an extension has yet to be agreed upon. If healthy, there is no question that Gilmore is still a premier corner in the NFL.

    Gilmore (quadriceps) will hold out of mandatory minicamp, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.

  • Officially placed on IR

    Gilmore (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve by the Patriots on Wednesday.

    Analysis: The move to IR was anticipated after Gilmore suffered a partially-torn quadriceps in Sunday's loss to Miami. The NFL Defensive Player of the Year for 2019 should be able to return in time for the start of next season, when he will be in the final campaign of a five-year contract. Jonathan Jones is likely to receive the majority of Gilmore's usual snaps over the final two games of the season.

  • Done for 2020 season

    Gilmore suffered a partially torn quadricep in Sunday's 22-12 loss to the Dolphins and will undergo season-ending surgery Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The reigning Defensive Player of the Year finished the 2020 season with 37 tackles, three pass breakups and an interception. The good news is that Gilmore avoided structural knee damage, and he's expected to be able to participate in part of the offseason program. In turn, the 30-year-old cornerback should be ready for the 2021 season, the final one of the five-year, $65 million contract he signed in March 2017.

    Gilmore's leg injury is not expected to be serious, Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: When Gilmore went down with a noncontact injury Sunday against the Dolphins, concern was that the 30-year-old may have suffered a long-term issue. Though New England guaranteed it will go without a postseason appearance for the first time since 2008 with Sunday's loss, at least there is positive indication regarding the reigning Defensive Player of the Year's outlook.

    The injury Gilmore suffered during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins has been clarified as a leg issue and may not be as severe as initially believed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old went down with a noncontact injury that was initially announced as a knee injury by the Patriots, but it appears the issue is elsewhere on the leg. It remains unclear what this means for Gilmore's status for the final two games of the season, but New England is likely to remain cautious considering it's already been eliminated from playoff contention. Additional testing Monday should reveal more on the injury.

  • Leaves with knee injury

    Gilmore is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: It was a non-contact injury for the 30-year-old, so it's a worrying development for him and the Patriots. Gilmore headed to the locker room and was almost immediately labeled doubtful to return. Jason McCourty and Jonathan Jones could have increased work at cornerback in his absence.

  • Clear for Week 12

    Gilmore (hand) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old was added to the injury report with the hand injury this week and was considered questionable, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Week 12. Gilmore figures to see plenty of DeAndre Hopkins during Sunday's contest.

  • Questionable against Cardinals

    Gilmore (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore returned to action last week after a three-game hiatus attributed to a knee injury. It seems unlikely that a hand injury would keep the star cornerback out of Sunday's game. However, we may not know his official status until the inactives list is revealed about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. kickoff.

  • Returning to lineup Sunday

    Gilmore (knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

    Analysis: Gilmore will return from his three-game absence and immediately handle a tough matchup Sunday, as he'll handle a healthy dose of Will Fuller and ex-Patriot receiver Brandin Cooks. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year is surely up to the task, as he's allowed just 218 yards and one touchdown in coverage this season.

  • Questionable, but expects to play

    Gilmore (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the lack of full activity won't necessarily prevent the star cornerback from playing this weekend. As Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald notes, Gilmore said earlier Friday that he's feeling good and preparing as though he'll suit up Sunday, though he may be put through a pregame workout before the Patriots make a final decision on his status. Gilmore has missed New England's last three games with a knee injury.

  • Limited reps Wednesday

    Gilmore (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has been sidelined for the last four games, and Wednesday's practice status doesn't necessarily point him in the right direction. In each of the last two practice weeks, Gilmore logged exactly two limited sessions but was ultimately inactive. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year has two more days to elevate to full participation. Otherwise, he'll likely carry a questionable designation into Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

  • Not available for SNF

    Gilmore (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore will miss his third straight game due to a lingering knee injury, so New England's defense will once again be forced to function without its top cornerback. On a more positive note for the Patriots, Jonathan Jones (groin) is active and will be available to start in Gilmore's stead.

  • Questionable after limited practice

    Gilmore (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against Baltimore.

    Analysis: Gilmore sandwiched Thursday's missed practice between limited sessions Wednesday and Friday. The star cornerback is hoping to make his return after missing the previous two games, and New England could be extremely shorthanded in the secondary if Gilmore can't go, as Jonathan Jones (illness) is also questionable.

  • Downgraded Thursday

    Gilmore (knee) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has missed back-to-back contests with the knee injury, and after practicing on a limited basis Wednesday, he appeared to take a step back in recovery. The star corner still has a chance to suit up in Sunday's game against Baltimore, but if he's forced out again, expect Jonathan Jones to continue to start at cornerback.

    Analysis: Gilmore has missed back-to-back games due to a lingering knee issue, but it appears that he's moving in the right diraction. Barring any setbacks, the star cornerback appears to have a chance to suit up for Sunday night's contest against Baltimore.

  • Officially ruled out for MNF

    Gilmore (knee) has been ruled out for the Patriots' Monday night matchup against the Jets.

    Analysis: New England's secondary will undoubtedly be depleted without the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year in the starting lineup. Gilmore has so far been targeted in coverage five times per game this season, holding his opponents to a 53.3 percent completion rate with only one total TD. Jonathan Jones will surely receive his seventh start of 2020 as result of this update.

  • Listed as questionable

    Gilmore (knee) is questionable for Monday's game versus the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was able to log a second straight limited practice session Saturday, indicating that he's on the right track to return to action after just one game on the sidelines. The star cornerback has held receivers to a 74.0 passer rating through six games, but Jonathan Jones and J.C. Jackson will fill the void if Gilmore is held out.

  • Upgrades to limited participation

    Gilmore (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was unable to practice Thursday, but he's making progress toward a possible return Monday against the Jets. The 2019 Defensive Player of the Year sat out last week against the Bills, so his practice status Saturday is vital for his chances to play Monday. Jonathan Jones and J.C. Jackson would both see increased usage if Gilmore sits out again.

  • Absent from Thursday's session

    Gilmore (knee) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice session, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

    Analysis: The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year was downgraded to out prior to Sunday's AFC East showdown against the Bills, marking his first regular-season absence since 2017. Gilmore was again producing excellent numbers through his six appearances pre-injury, holding opponents to a 53.3 percent completion rate when targeting him in coverage this season. His Week 9 status for a matchup against the Jets so far does not look especially promising, though he will be afforded extra time to…read more

  • Will not play Sunday

    Gilmore (knee) was downgraded to out ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Gilmore suffered a knee injury Thursday, which was supposedly minor, but it'll keep the star cornerback off the field for at least one week. Whether the looming trade deadline and Gilmore's perceived desire to be moved has anything to do with the designation remains to be seen, but in any case, expect J.C. Jackson (knee) to attempt to fill the void of the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

  • Draws questionable tag

    Gilmore (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Gilmore exited Thursday's practice early to undergo an MRI on his knee, and he wasn't able to handle any reps Friday, but his injury is reportedly considered minor. It looks as though the veteran cornerback has a real chance to suit up Sunday, but after missing Friday's session entirely his status could come down to a game-time decision.

    Gilmore (knee) is not participating in Friday's practice, Andrew Callahan of Boston Herald reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore is dealing with a reportedly minor injury, the severity of which caused him to undergo an MRI after exiting Thursday's practice early. It seems as though the standout veteran is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Bills, though he hasn't yet been ruled out.

    Gilmore is not yet ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills after tweaking his knee during Thursday's practice, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore underwent an MRI after leaving Thursday's practice, the results of which reportedly revealed a minor injury. How much the veteran cornerback is able to do in Friday's session should provide a hint as to his chances of suiting up in Buffalo, as will the Patriots' final injury report of the week.

  • Should be available Sunday

    Gilmore (illness) returned to practice Thursday and was a full participant, Matt Vautour of MassLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was unrestricted during New England's first practice since Oct. 2. The star cornerback had been sidelined since testing positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 6, but he's reportedly been asymptomatic since. At this time, Gilmore appears on track for Sunday's game against the Broncos, as does quarterback Cam Newton.

  • May be cleared to practice soon

    Gilmore (illness) could resume practicing with the Patriots as soon as Thursday, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: New England received good news Wednesday when Cam Newton cleared the COVID-19 protocol and was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, and Gilmore looks like he could soon follow suit. The star cornerback has reportedly been asymptomatic since testing positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 6, so if reinstated Thursday, he likely won't find himself far behind his teammates from a conditioning standpoint. Gilmore probably wouldn't require a full week of practice in order to suit up in Sunday's game…read more

  • Still not practicing

    Gilmore (illness) remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is not practicing with the Patriots on Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore needs to test negative on consecutive days before being allowed to return to the Patriots' facilities. Coach Bill Belichick indicated the team is just taking it "day-by-day, hour-by-hour," so that is all that is really known at this time. If Gilmore is indeed unable to play Monday, Jonathan Jones is the likely candidate to replace him at cornerback opposite Jason McCourty.

  • Asymptomatic at this time

    Gilmore (illness) has been asymptomatic since testing positive for COVID-19, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and will need to test negative twice in succession before being allowed to return to the Patriots' facilities. The reigning DPOY suited up for Monday's loss to the Chiefs, and his positive test has resulted in New England cancelling Wednesday's practice.

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Gilmore tested positive for the coronavirus Wednesday and will be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After Cam Newton tested positive for the virus over the weekend, New England has now lost its most prominent defensive player to COVID-19. Unlike Newton, Gilmore played in the Patriots' 26-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday, prompting New England to cancel its first Week 5 practice Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. Gilmore's positive test suddenly puts the Patriots' upcoming game Sunday against the Broncos at risk of postponement.

  • Earns raise before Week 1

    The Patriots will pay Gilmore (hamstring) at least $15.5 million in the 2020 season, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was set to make $10.5 million this season, but the Patriots gave the reigning Defensive Player of the Year a $5 million raise with the potential of making $17.5 million total if the incentives kick in. The soon-to-be 30-year-old cornerback has one year left on his contract after this season, and the money is well-deserved.

  • Dealing with hamstring issue

    Gilmore (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant for Thursday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Gilmore suffered the injury, however, it's likely that the team is trying to manage his reps in practice before Week 1. The veteran is expected to lead the Patriots defense again in 2020 when healthy, so it's too early to think Gilmore will be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's clash against Miami.

    Gilmore (personal) re-joined his team at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was away from the team the past week citing personal reasons and not due to dissatisfaction with his contract. Now back at training camp, the veteran will continue to take first-team reps and lead the team's secondary heading into the 2020 season.

    Gilmore is still away from the team with an "excused absence," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has missed the last five practices with the excused absence, but he's closing in on a return. Coach Bill Belichick added Monday: "There are some protocols we have to deal with. When [Gilmore's] able to come back, he'll be back." Overall, the absence shouldn't lead to any missed regular-season action for Gilmore, as the 29-year-old is expected to once again anchor the Pats' secondary unit in 2020.

    Analysis: Gilmore is not dealing with an injury, and the Patriots are expected to get the Defensive Player of the Year back soon. The 29-year-old registered 53 tackles, 20 pass breakups and six interceptions in 2019, and he'll anchor the Pats' defense once again this year as it seeks to repeat as the league's stingiest unit.

  • Wins DPOY

    Gilmore was voted the AP Defensive Player of the Year on Saturday.

    Analysis: Gilmore submitted an outstanding campaign for a Patriots defense that was performing at a historically good level for the first half of the season and wasn't too shabby after that. The shutdown corner consistently took away opposing top receivers while still finding time for 53 tackles and six interceptions, two of which he returned for touchdowns. He's the first player in Patriots history to win this award.

    Gilmore recorded four pass breakups and two interceptions, including a pick-six, in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Andy Dalton was fearless, throwing in Gilmore's direction multiple times, but he paid for it, as the veteran corner picked him off twice and took one to the house. Gilmore now has a career-high six interceptions, two of which were pick-sixes. He'll look to continue the momentum against the Bills, which selected Gilmore in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft.
