Patriots place Stephon Gilmore on PUP list to start season The Patriots will reportedly place cornerback Stephon Gilmore on the PUP list as he rehabs from a torn quad and negotiates a new contract.

AUGUST 31, 2021 • BOSTON.COM

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.

Impact 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.

Patriots Have Important Decision To Make On Stephon Gilmore The New England Patriots have until Tuesday to decide whether to remove Stephon Gilmore from the physically unable to perform list.

AUGUST 30, 2021 • NESN.COM

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

Impact 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. When healthy, Gilmore is an elite defensive back in the league, and the 6-foot-1, 202-pounder will aim to get back on the field ahead of New England's Week 1 game against Miami.
