EDGE Analysis

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.
