Gilbert was suspended for the entire 2017 season on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former first-rounder was originally suspended for the first four games of the season, but he'll now be sidelined for the entire year. That doesn't bode well for Gilbert's chances of finding a new NFL home, as the cornerback was released by the Steelers this offseason. In all likelihood, if Gilbert does get another opportunity on an NFL roster, it probably won't come until next season.

Gilbert has been suspended for the first four games of the 2017 season, Courtney Fallon of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Things continue to spiral for the former first-rounder, who was released by the Steelers early in the offseason. Now that he has an impending four-game suspension, Gilbert may have a harder time finding a team this summer than was already expected.

Gilbert was released by the Steelers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert was acquired by Pittsburgh in a trade with Cleveland early on in the 2016 season, and the eighth-overall pick from 2014 saw action in 12 regular season games. His role was primarily on special teams, and saw just 11 defensive snaps on the season. Now a free agent, Gilbert is free to sign with any team.

Gilbert (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert was originally dealing with a shoulder issue earlier in the week, but he's ultimately been scratched from the Steelers' lineup for the wild card round. Expect Sammie Coates and Fitzgerald Toussaint to perform kick-return duties.

Gilbert (shoulder) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
It originally appeared like the shoulder injury that Gilbert suffered during last week's regular season-finale could keep him out of Sunday's wild-card matchup, but after practicing fully Wednesday the expectation is that he'll be ready for this week's pivotal playoff game. Gilbert has appeared in 12 games this season for Pittsburgh and will likely function as a depth cornerback throughout the playoffs.

Gilbert injured his left shoulder during the Steelers' regular season finale against the Browns, Nate Ulrich of Ohio.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The details surrounding Gilbert's situation aren't clear. If he can maneuver the offseason setback-free, he should be all ready to go for the start of the 2017 campaign.

Gilbert (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert suffered an injury in practice last week and was unable to play against the Jets. However, his full participation on Wednesday puts him on a good track to suit up for this weekend's bout with the Dolphins.

Gilbert (knee) will not play on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gilbert was carted off the practice field Wednesday, but since the injury is not anticipated to be severe, it appears the Steelers are simply being cautious with the former first-rounder .

Gilbert's knee injury he suffered from in practice Wednesday is not believed to be serious, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
How serious Gilbert's knee injury is, however, is still unknown. Given that he was still carted off the practice field Wednesday, there is a good chance the reserve defensive back is held out for at least one contest.

The Browns traded Gilbert to the Browns on Saturday in exchange for a 2018 sixth-round pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The revolving door in the front office, coaching staff, and roster itself didn't help Gilbert's cause, but the 2014 first-round selection didn't come close to fulfilling his potential. With the move to a divisional rival, he'll have two opportunities per season to prove his former employers wrong.
