News

  • Starts 15 games for Minnesota

    Gilmore finished the 2024 season with 56 tackles (40 solo) and nine pass breakups, including one interception, across 15 regular-season contests.

    Analysis: Playing for his fifth team in the last five seasons, Gilmore started all 15 games in which he appeared and continued to hold his own as a 34-year-old outside cornerback opposite Byron Murphy in Minnesota. Like Murphy, Gilmore is again scheduled to be a free agent in March and will likely have to settle for a one-year deal if he's going to continue his playing career.

  • Gets in full practice Wednesday

    Gilmore (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Gilmore was inactive Monday night against the Bears, but his full participation Wednesday would suggest he's gearing toward playing Sunday against the Seahawks following his two-game absence. Gilmore has logged 47 tackles (32 solo) and seven pass breakups, including one interception, across 12 contests this season.

  • Inactive versus Chicago

    Gilmore (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Gilmore was listed as questionable following a limited practice Saturday, but he was never expected to play and will now officially sit this one out. Fabian Moreau is expected to draw into the starting lineup at cornerback in Gilmore's absence.

  • Unlikely to play

    Gilmore (hamstring) is not expected to play Monday against the Bears, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore was able to return to practice Saturday and log a limited session, but it appears he'll likely miss his second consecutive contest. Assuming he doesn't suit up, Fabian Moreau may be in line for extra snaps at corner.

  • Questionable for Week 15

    Gilmore (hamstring) is officially questionable to suit up Monday against Chicago.

    Analysis: Gilmore strained his left hamstring against Arizona in Week 13 and didn't play last Sunday against Atlanta. He missed Minnesota's first two practices this week but logged a limited session Saturday to give himself a shot of playing Monday. If Gilmore is able to give it a go Monday, Fabian Moreau could see his role reduced.

  • Sits out practice again

    Gilmore (hamstring) is not practicing Friday.

    Analysis: Gilmore missed Week 14 against the Falcons and has now sat out back-to-back practices leading into Week 15 action. Saturday's practice will represent his final chance to get in at least limited reps prior to Monday's divisional matchup against the Bears. Fabian Moreau will likely start at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin versus Chicago if Gilmore can't play.

  • Ruled out for Week 14

    Gilmore (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Gilmore strained his left hamstring during the Vikings' Week 13 win over the Cardinals. He wasn't able to practice over the first two sessions of the week, and the veteran corner will be sidelined Sunday for the first time this season. Fabian Moreau is the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Shaquill Griffin on Sunday due to Gilmore's injury.

  • Logs DNP on Wednesday

    Gilmore (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Gilmore sustained a left hamstring strain in Minnesota's Week 13 win over Arizona, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The veteran cornerback is likely to be sidelined for the Week 14 contest against the Falcons unless he is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday.

  • Tending to hamstring strain

    Gilmore sustained a strained left hamstring during Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Andrew Krammer of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

    Analysis: Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's optimistic Gilmore "avoided a longer-term issue" with the injury that forced him out during the first half Sunday. His name will warrant looking out for when Minnesota releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

  • Questionable to return Sunday

    Gilmore (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The starting cornerback recorded two tackles (one solo) and a pass breakup before exiting. Fabian Moreau replaced him, per Seifert.

  • Delivers game-sealing interception

    Gilmore had six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets in London.

    Analysis: Gilmore was targeted 14 times in the passing game and gave up seven receptions for 66 yards. He hasn't graded out exceptionally in pass coverage this season, but has been a steady veteran presence and made a big play when it counted Sunday, with his interception staving off a potential game-tying score by the Jets in the final minute.

  • Four tackles in win

    Gilmore had four total tackles, including a tackle for loss, in Sunday's win over Houston.

    Analysis: Gilmore's late signing in training camp has added a needed steady veteran presence to a young secondary. However, he's allowed 16 receptions on 19 targets for a 91.0 NFL passer rating, according to Pro Football Focus, which is slightly worse than his last two seasons.

  • Has shoulder surgery

    Gilmore (shoulder) had surgery after the Cowboys' season ended, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 12th-year veteran is set to become a free agent, and he will likely need 4-to-6 months to recover, per Archer. At the same time, Gilmore should be available for training camp. The cornerback made a career-best 68 tackles in 2023 to go along with 13 passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

  • Career-best tackle total in 2023

    Gilmore recorded a career-high 68 tackles (54 solo) while adding two interceptions on 13 passes defended plus a forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2023.

    Analysis: The 33-year-old cornerback showed he still has plenty left in the tank while not missing a game for the first time since 2019. Gilmore is a free agent this offseason and isn't guaranteed to be back in Dallas, as the Cowboys have younger options in DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs (knee) to handle the starting jobs on the outside, but the veteran's savvy and coverage skills should still give him plenty of suitors.

  • Will play vs. Packers

    Gilmore (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Gilmore will suit up for Dallas in the wild-card round. He figures to see a healthy dose of Christian Watson (hamstring) and Romeo Doubs on the boundaries come Sunday.

  • Back at practice Thursday

    Gilmore (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that he expects Gilmore will play Sunday, and his presence at practice Thursday lends credence to that confidence. If he is able to upgrade to full participation Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Not practicing Wednesday

    Gilmore (shoulder) is not participating at practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Per Gehlken, coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that the expectation is Gilmore will play Sunday even though he probably won't practice during the week. That doesn't seem like a guarantee, though, so it will still be worth watching his status as Dallas' wild-card game approaches.

  • Still on track for Sunday

    Gilmore (shoulder) is unlikely to practice until Saturday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, but he's still expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore avoided any significant damage to his shoulder when he suffered the injury Week 18 against the Commanders. He also told reporters after the game he would play in the wild-card round, even before the MRI results were back. However, this is the first confirmation from McCarthy that will likely be the case, which is good news for the Cowboys' secondary.

  • Gets good news from MRI

    Gilmore's MRI results Monday showed no significant damage to his shoulder, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Commanders, which helped the Cowboys clinch the NFC East. According to Fowler, Gilmore said after the game that he would suit up for the team's wild-card game against the Packers this coming Sunday, and his MRI results seemingly support that notion.

  • Won't return Week 18

    Gilmore (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: With Gilmore out for the rest of Sunday's contest, DaRon Bland will take over at corner, while Nahshon Wright steps into the slot corner role. Gilmore had six solo tackles before the injury.

  • Leaves game with shoulder injury

    Gilmore (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders, per The Dallas Morning News.

    Analysis: Gilmore sustained the shoulder injury in the final minutes of the second quarter. Nahshon Wright will likely fill into the slot role while Jourdan Lewis takes over at corner opposite DaRon Bland while Gilmore is sidelined.

  • Officially active

    Gilmore (illness) is active Sunday against the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore never practiced this week but was expected to play as previously reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The veteran corner's ability to play should certainly benefit the Cowboys' secondary.

    Gilmore (illness) is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore has yet to practice this week, for rest purposes Wednesday, then ultimately due to feeling ill later in the week. However, the veteran corner has taken a turn for the better and should suit up Sunday against Buffalo, which is good news for the Dallas secondary.

  • In jeopardy of missing Week 15

    Gilmore (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday''s game against the Bills, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gilmore missed practice for rest reasons to begin the week but ended up not participating all week after picking up an illness. He had a season-high nine tackles and a forced fumble in the Cowboys' Week 14 win over the Eagles. If Gilmore can't suit up for Sunday's contest, Jourdan Lewis is the likely candidate to move into the starting cornerback role alongside DaRon Bland.

  • Misses practice Thursday

    Gilmore missed practice Thursday due to an illness, Jon Machota of The Athleticreports.

    Analysis: The cornerback also had a veterans' day off Wednesday. Gilmore has one more practice day to try to get back on the field ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bills. Jourdan Lewis would be in line to play more snaps if Gilmore can't go.

  • Leading tackler in Week 14 win

    Gilmore recorded nine solo tackles and forced a fumble in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' aggressive defense forced and recovered three fumbles in total, but Gilmore's strip of A.J. Brown on Philadelphia's first drive of the second half might have been the back-breaker. The nine stops were a team high for the game and a season high for the veteran cornerback, and they give Gilmore an even 50, just the fifth time in his 12-year career he's reached that mark.

  • 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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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).

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    Analysis: Gilmore was a limited participant in practices Thursday and Friday, but it appears he will be available for the Panthers on Sunday.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The Patriots sorely miss the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year, and team's lack of depth at cornerback has shown during training camp.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

In each of the last two practice weeks, Gilmore logged exactly two limited sessions but was ultimately inactive.

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 (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.

  • Still missing time

    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.

  • Away from team

    Gilmore (personal) is away from the team but is expected to return soon, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    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.

  • Picks off two passes

    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.
