24 Stephon Gilmore CB

Gilmore (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

According to Michael Giardi of NFL Network, Gilmore still doesn't look fully healthy. The Dolphins passing attack is anything but threatening, so it's reasonable that the Patriots may restrict Gilmore's reps since they want to ensure their top cornerback is healthy when the playoffs arrive.

Gilmore (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, is viewed as a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

If Gilmore fights through the ankle issue and suits up, he'll likely be playing at less-than-optimal health, as he appeared to be moving slowly while getting off the Patriots' team bus Sunday, per Michael Giardi of NFL Network. Gilmore has proven his worth as the Patriots' top cornerback this season, but it hasn't translated to much IDP utility. He's racked up 37 tackles, 15 pass breakups, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and a sack through 12 contests.

Gilmore was added to the Patriots' injury report Friday with an ankle issue and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Miami, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

While a late addition to the injury report is usually concerning, Gilmore still managed a limited practice Friday. Given how the Patriots tend to guard injury information, confirmation on his status may have to wait until the team's inactive list is released at approximately 11:30 AM ET on Sunday. With Gilmore well established among the elite at his position, an absence would be a positive development for the Week 14 outlooks of Ryan Tannehill, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills.

Gilmore recorded a tackle and an interception during Sunday's 27-13 over the Jets.

Gilmore earned his second interception of the year in a crucial moment when he picked off Josh McCown on the goal line in the fourth quarter. The pass was intended for Robby Anderson, but Gilmore was able to win the jump ball and come down with the pick. He and the rest of New England's defense will look to stop the Vikings in Week 13.

Gilmore posted four tackles (all solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's loss to the Titans.

Gilmore's sack Sunday was the first of his career. He's having another quality season for the Patriots and has been the team's top cover corner. Looking ahead, the Patriots have a Week 11 bye before taking on the Jets in Week 12.

Gilmore intercepted a pass in Week 1's victory against the Texans.

The cornerback additionally logged seven tackles and two passes defended. Gilmore remained on the field for each of New England's 74 defensive snaps, and he appears to be the primary option in the Patriots' secondary across from Eric Rowe.

Gilmore finished the 2017 regular season with 50 tackles and two interceptions in 13 games.

Expectations were high after the cornerback signed a five-year, $65 million contract with the Patriots this offseason, but Gilmore endured a rough start to his 2017 campaign. His play improved as the season rolled along, however, and the 27-year-old is poised to remain a mainstay in the New England secondary for the foreseeable future.

Gilmore recorded eight tackles (all solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Steelers.

The eight tackles are by far Gilmore's most in a game this season and therefore shouldn't be considered the norm. The 27-year-old played every defensive snap Sunday, which is a good sign considering he came into the game nursing an ankle injury.

Gilmore (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Gilmore was battling this injury ahead of Week 14's game against the Dolphins, but he still played 73 defensive snaps and made three solo tackles. The sixth-year pro will likely play a similar snap count Sunday lined up against a strong Steelers' receivers corps.

Gilmore was a limited participant at practice all week, which was also the case in Week 14 before he ultimately suited up for the Patriots in their Monday night loss to the Dolphins. It's expected the cornerback will be ready to go despite the shorter turnaround this week, though he'll have the unenviable task of covering Antonio Brown for most of the day.

Gilmore (ankle) is officially active for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

Gilmore was a limited participant in practice this week and was listed as questionable. However, he always seemed likely to play. The Patriots' secondary may have their work cut out for them Monday with Trey Flowers (ribs) and Kyle Van Noy (calf) -- the team's two leaders in sacks -- inactive Monday.

Gilmore (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against Miami.

Albeit in a limited capacity, Gilmore was able to practice each day this week. That he did indicates he'll likely to ready for Monday's game, bolstering New England's recently improved pass defense.

Gilmore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to dehydration.

It is the second contest this season that Gilmore has been forced out of due to the ailment. Jonathan Jones should step in for him while he's out.

Gilmore will play in Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Leading up to kickoff, Gilmore had been dealing with his fair share of injuries. The Pats safety had been nursing both concussion-like symptoms and a sore ankle. With him in the lineup, New England will get a solid boost from the back end of the defense this week.

Gilmore (concussion, ankle) said he expects to play Sunday against the Broncos, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

The Patriots have yet to announce that Gilmore has officially been removed from the NFL's concussion protocol, so until that happens, his level of practice participation coming out of the bye week won't mean much. Even so, Gilmore's optimism regarding his health suggests that he expects to be cleared at some point this week, putting him in line to settle back into a starting role Sunday. Gilmore has been sidelined for the Patriots' last three games with the concussion.

Gilmore (concussion, ankle) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers.

Sunday will mark the third consecutive game that Gilmore has missed due to concussion symptoms. His limited participation at practice this past week is an encouraging sign for his ability to play next week. Look for Johnson Bademosi to fill in for Gilmore once again in Week 8.

Gilmore (concussion, ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Gilmore has missed the last two games with concussion symptoms and practiced in a limited capacity this week. There's not real indication on whether the 27-year-old will play at this point, and Johnson Bademosi would likely see a heavily increased role yet again if Gilmore cannot play.

Gilmore (concussion, ankle) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Gilmore did not practice again this week and is set to miss his second consecutive game. The 27-year-old is listed with an ankle injury in addition to the concussion, but at this point, clearing the league-mandated protocol for head injuries is his real hurdle to getting back on the field.

Gilmore (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports.

Gilmore has been dealing with concussion symptoms since Week 5 and wasn't available for last Sunday's matchup with the Jets. Since he didn't practice Wednesday, the veteran corner evidently still has to clear a few phases of the concussion protocol in order to suit up for the Super Bowl LI rematch with the Falcons on Sunday.

Gilmore was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets with a concussion.

Gilmore put in a full session Friday after being limited earlier in the week, but apparently is not clear of concussion symptoms. Josina Anderson of ESPN reports that the veteran cornerback has been dealing with headaches since Week 5's Thursday night matchup with the Buccaneers.
