Gilbert, who opted out of the 2020 season, announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
The Cardinals traded a sixth-round pick for Gilbert during the 2019 offseason, but he subsequently tore his ACL and never appeared in a game for the team. Previously, the 2011 second-round pick logged time in 88 games with the Steelers, 87 of which were starts. Gilbert's retirement won't shake up Arizona's offensive line much, as the team already has re-signed 2020 starting right tackle Kelvin Beachum.

The Cardinals placed Gilbert on the active/non-football illness list Sunday, Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In addition to his undisclosed illness, Gilbert is working his way back from an ACL tear suffered last September. The Cardinals stand to rely on him as a high-end backup at the offensive tackle position when healthy.

Gilbert (knee) has signed a one-year contract to return to the Cardinals, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert tore his right ACL last September, but when healthy, Weinfuss notes that the 6-foot-6, 330-pounder, who was drafted by Pittsburgh 63rd overall back in 2001 -- "can be a very effective right tackle." Additionally, Weinfuss suggests that the team's re-signing of Gilbert makes using a high draft pick on a tackle less look likely for the Cardinals.

Gilbert (knee) expects to resume practicing in some capacity during OTAs and ramp up his activity for training camp, Kyle Odegard of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert suffered a torn ACL just days before the 2019 regular season began, and he missed the entire campaign as a result. The veteran right tackle has appeared in just 12 games across the last three years. An impending unrestricted free agent, Gilbert expects to be fully healthy in time to kick off the 2020 season and said he would "love" to re-sign with the Cardinals.

Gilbert was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear whether Gilbert will be able to return closer to the end of the season. The 31-year-old suffered the injury in practice Thursday and missed Sunday's season opener. Gilbert's placement on injured reserve prompted Arizona to sign Jordan Mills.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that Gilbert (knee) won't play in Sunday's game against Baltimore, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert was unable to suit up in the season opener against Detroit either, suggesting there is cause for concern regarding the injury. It's still unclear how long he'll be sidelined for, but Justin Murray started at right tackle in his place last week, and will be the favorite to do so again for Week 2.

Gilbert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against Detroit, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert popped up on the injury report Thursday after "banging up" his knee, leading him to miss practice Friday. It's unclear how long the 31-year-old will be out, but for now it seems that either Brett Toth or Justin Murray will start at right tackle in his absence.

Gilbert (groin) was unable to practice Tuesday, but coach Kliff Kingsbury said he'll suit up for Thursday's preseason game against the Chargers, Scott Bordow of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert tweaked his groin during Monday's practice and was likely given a veteran day off Tuesday. The 31-year-old is expected to handle starting right tackle duties for the team this upcoming season, so he'll likely see a few series, then make way for backups during Thursday's contest.
