Gilmore (shoulder) had surgery after the Cowboys' season ended, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 12th-year veteran is set to become a free agent, and he will likely need 4-to-6 months to recover, per Archer. At the same time, Gilmore should be available for training camp. The cornerback made a career-best 68 tackles in 2023 to go along with 13 passes defensed, two interceptions and a forced fumble.

Gilmore recorded a career-high 68 tackles (54 solo) while adding two interceptions on 13 passes defended plus a forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old cornerback showed he still has plenty left in the tank while not missing a game for the first time since 2019. Gilmore is a free agent this offseason and isn't guaranteed to be back in Dallas, as the Cowboys have younger options in DaRon Bland and Trevon Diggs (knee) to handle the starting jobs on the outside, but the veteran's savvy and coverage skills should still give him plenty of suitors.

Gilmore (shoulder) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Packers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Gilmore will suit up for Dallas in the wild-card round. He figures to see a healthy dose of Christian Watson (hamstring) and Romeo Doubs on the boundaries come Sunday.

Gilmore (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News, coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that he expects Gilmore will play Sunday, and his presence at practice Thursday lends credence to that confidence. If he is able to upgrade to full participation Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Gilmore (shoulder) is not participating at practice Wednesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Gehlken, coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday that the expectation is Gilmore will play Sunday even though he probably won't practice during the week. That doesn't seem like a guarantee, though, so it will still be worth watching his status as Dallas' wild-card game approaches.

Gilmore (shoulder) is unlikely to practice until Saturday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, but he's still expected to play Sunday against the Packers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilmore avoided any significant damage to his shoulder when he suffered the injury Week 18 against the Commanders. He also told reporters after the game he would play in the wild-card round, even before the MRI results were back. However, this is the first confirmation from McCarthy that will likely be the case, which is good news for the Cowboys' secondary.

Gilmore's MRI results Monday showed no significant damage to his shoulder, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilmore suffered the injury during Sunday's win over the Commanders, which helped the Cowboys clinch the NFC East. According to Fowler, the South Carolina product told reporters after the game that he would suit up for the team's wild-card game against the Packers on Sunday. However, Gilmore should still be considered questionable until Dallas releases an injury report without him on it.

Gilmore (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Commanders, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Gilmore out for the rest of Sunday's contest, DaRon Bland will take over at corner, while Nahshon Wright steps into the slot corner role. Gilmore had six solo tackles before the injury.

Gilmore (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders, per The Dallas Morning News.

EDGE Analysis

Gilmore sustained the shoulder injury in the final minutes of the second quarter. Nahshon Wright will likely fill into the slot role while Jourdan Lewis takes over at corner opposite DaRon Bland while Gilmore is sidelined.

Gilmore (illness) is active Sunday against the Bills, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gilmore never practiced this week but was expected to play as previously reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The veteran corner's ability to play should certainly benefit the Cowboys' secondary.
