Gilman tallied 11 tackles (nine solo) in the 36-34 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
The safety played all 67 defensive snaps and was routinely asked to make tackles deep in the Los Angeles secondary as the Dolphins constantly moved the ball through the air. Safeties Gilman, Pro Bowler Derwin James and rookie third-round pick JT Woods all finished among the top five in tackles following Sunday's contest, highlighting a unit that has often been used very fluidly under head coach Brandon Staley.
Gilman (knee) was not included on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.
Gilman missed practice in mid-August while nursing a knee contusion. However, the 5-foot-10 free safety should now be a full-go to begin his age-26 season. Gilman accrued a career-high 58 tackles, three passes defended and one interception while playing all 17 games for the Chargers last season, and he's slated to start alongside star safety Derwin James in 2023.

Chargers' Alohi Gilman: Nursing knee bruise
Rotowire
Gilman has been sidelined at practice this week due to a knee contusion, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Gilman is slated to start at free safety for the Chargers this season. He played in all 17 games during the 2022 campaign and started five of them. Expect Los Angeles to err on the side of caution with the 25-year-old in order to ensure his health for Week 1. Thus, his status for Sunday's exhibition matchup with the Saints is certainly in question.

Chargers' Alohi Gilman: Likely starting Week 5
Rotowire
Gilman is starting at safety next to Derwin James during warmups ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Gilman has been operating as the third safety who only comes in during dime and nickel packages when James moves to the slot, but it appears he'll get the starting nod over Nasir Adderley, who figures to handle Gilman's usual responsibilities. Through four appearances, Gilman has recorded just three tackles across 48 defensive snaps, but he's in line for a much larger role in Week 5.
