Gilmore finished the 2024 season with 56 tackles (40 solo) and nine pass breakups, including one interception, across 15 regular-season contests. Playing for his fifth team in the last five seasons, Gilmore started all 15 games in which he appeared and continued to hold his own as a 34-year-old outside cornerback opposite Byron Murphy in Minnesota. Like Murphy, Gilmore is again scheduled to be a free agent in March and will likely have to settle for a one-year deal if he's going to continue his playing career.

Gilmore finished the 2024 season with 56 tackles (40 solo) and nine pass breakups, including one interception, across 15 regular-season contests. Playing for his fifth team in the last five seasons, Gilmore started all 15 games in which he appeared and continued to hold his own as a 34-year-old outside cornerback opposite Byron Murphy in Minnesota. Like Murphy, Gilmore is again scheduled to be a free agent in March and will likely have to settle for a one-year deal if he's going to continue his playing career.
Gilmore (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Gilmore was inactive Monday night against the Bears, but his full participation Wednesday would suggest he's gearing toward playing Sunday against the Seahawks following his two-game absence. Gilmore has logged 47 tackles (32 solo) and seven pass breakups, including one interception, across 12 contests this season.
Gilmore (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's game against the Bears. Gilmore was listed as questionable following a limited practice Saturday, but he was never expected to play and will now officially sit this one out. Fabian Moreau is expected to draw into the starting lineup at cornerback in Gilmore's absence.
Gilmore (hamstring) is not expected to play Monday against the Bears, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports. Gilmore was able to return to practice Saturday and log a limited session, but it appears he'll likely miss his second consecutive contest. Assuming he doesn't suit up, Fabian Moreau may be in line for extra snaps at corner.
Gilmore (hamstring) is officially questionable to suit up Monday against Chicago. Gilmore strained his left hamstring against Arizona in Week 13 and didn't play last Sunday against Atlanta. He missed Minnesota's first two practices this week but logged a limited session Saturday to give himself a shot of playing Monday. If Gilmore is able to give it a go Monday, Fabian Moreau could see his role reduced.
Gilmore (hamstring) is not practicing Friday. Gilmore missed Week 14 against the Falcons and has now sat out back-to-back practices leading into Week 15 action. Saturday's practice will represent his final chance to get in at least limited reps prior to Monday's divisional matchup against the Bears. Fabian Moreau will likely start at cornerback opposite Shaquill Griffin versus Chicago if Gilmore can't play.
Gilmore (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Gilmore strained his left hamstring during the Vikings' Week 13 win over the Cardinals. He wasn't able to practice over the first two sessions of the week, and the veteran corner will be sidelined Sunday for the first time this season. Fabian Moreau is the top candidate to start at outside corner opposite Shaquill Griffin on Sunday due to Gilmore's injury.
Gilmore (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday. Gilmore sustained a left hamstring strain in Minnesota's Week 13 win over Arizona, so missing Wednesday's practice comes as no surprise. The veteran cornerback is likely to be sidelined for the Week 14 contest against the Falcons unless he is able to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday or Friday.
Gilmore sustained a strained left hamstring during Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Andrew Krammer of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports. Coach Kevin O'Connell said Monday that he's optimistic Gilmore "avoided a longer-term issue" with the injury that forced him out during the first half Sunday. His name will warrant looking out for when Minnesota releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.
