Impact Gilbert is returning to the lineup at an optimal time, as Robert Spillane (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, opening up a starting inside linebacker job.

Practice window opens Gilbert (back) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Curt Popejoy of USA Today reports.
Impact Gilbert returned to practice Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated from IR. The 23-year-old linebacker played mainly on special teams through his only two games this season, but he'd bolster the team's depth at the second level, where it has already lost Devin Bush and Bud Dupree for the season due to torn ACLs.

Chance to earn backup job Gilbert (back) should have the opportunity to earn the backup job at inside linebacker in training camp, Joe Rutter of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.
Impact The 2019 sixth-round pick totaled only five tackles in seven games before being shut down with a back injury, but the offseason departures of Mark Barron and Tyler Matakevich create an opening on the depth chart. Gilbert likely will be in competition with Robert Spillane, John Houston and Leo Lewis.
