Stephon Gilmore is expected to practice with Panthers this week

[WarPanthers89]

Cornerback Stephon Gilmore has been a member of the Panthers for a couple of weeks, but he hasn’t been on the field with his new team yet.

Gilmore was on the Patriots’ physically unable to perform list at the time of the trade and remained on it once he got to Carolina, so he’s been ineligible to practice or play for the first six weeks of the season. We’ve reached that point in the calendar and Gilmore is reportedly set to start working.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Gilmore, who tore his quad last season, is expected to practice with the team this week. Once he does practice, the team will have three weeks to activate him or shut him down for the rest of the year.

Gilmore’s long absence from the field may make it a long shot for him to play against the Giants in Week Seven, but Gilmore’s Panthers debut should be coming fairly soon.

Sounds good to me

[mav1234]

Getting him on the field in the next couple weeks will be big.  His leadership is needed.  Shaqs return will also be huge.

[BlackPanther21_]

Welp if he can't play this week we might have to trade for another corner or 2 this week.

Can he play LG?  No? Oh well...

[Smithers]

We need him and Henderson back.  Also - Shaq being out has been huge.  It’s required us to play Reddick as a LB more often, reducing the amount of plays he can rush the passer.  That’s not ideal when your best pass rusher can’t be used to rush the passer 

[Squid Game]

Gilmore and Henderson will be sat out. But Daley and Miller are starting each week.

Don’t waste your time 

[Wes21]

Is he wearing Darnold's jersey in that pic?

[RJK]

Rhule said the plan is to have him against the giants. Which means he’ll go on season ending IR. The standard is the standard

Dan Arnold is catching passes and winning games with the Jaguars. Where is CJ and Gilmore? Going to role them out when the season is lost?

Great front office and coaching. Take away a safety outlet for a new QB and add players who are doing nothing for the defense.

How to fail 101

Taylor looks good enough that it's a bonus at this point to get Gilmore up and going. There really shouldn't be a rush to get him up and going against the Giants unless he can play on the oline or FS.

Yes, his 28 yds/GM and zero TD's have really been the thing that has ground our offense to a halt.

Agreed. It is crazy how deep our CB's are.
