Vikings' Stephon Gilmore: Logs DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
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 had six total tackles, two passes defensed and an interception in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Jets in London.
Gilmore was targeted 14 times in the passing game and gave up seven receptions for 66 yards. He hasn't graded out exceptionally in pass coverage this season, but has been a steady veteran presence and made a big play when it counted Sunday, with his interception staving off a potential game-tying score by the Jets in the final minute.

Stephon Gilmore: Visiting Minnesota
Rotowire
Gilmore (shoulder) is slated to visit the Vikings on Monday, Andrew Harbaugh of USA Today reports.
Gilmore spent last season in Dallas, where he broke up 13 passes and logged two interceptions across 17 regular-season games. He underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, but his visit to Minnesota indicates he is nearly recovered. The Vikings have had problems at cornerback during training camp due to injuries, so Gilmore would serve as a veteran presence should he indeed be brought in.

Cowboys' Stephon Gilmore: Career-best tackle total in 2023
Rotowire
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.
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's late fourth-quarter interception essentially sealed the win for Dallas and was his second in six games to open the season.

Cowboys' Stephon Gilmore: Secures pick in Dallas debut
Rotowire
Gilmore recorded four tackles and three passes defended, including an interception, in Sunday's 40-0 rout of the Giants.
The Cowboys' defense dominated the game, and Gilmore made an impact in his debut for the club by plucking an errant Daniel Jones throw early in the second quarter. The veteran cornerback hasn't pulled down more than two INTs in a season since 2019, but with an aggressive, star-studded Dallas defense giving QBs little time and few opportunities to make optimal choices, Gilmore could see a lot more chances to create turnovers than he's been used to.

Despite having played every defensive snap during Sunday's loss to the Commanders, Gilmore popped up on the injury report Wednesday as a DNP in practice with an apparent rib issue.
