Rapsheet reports that Gilmore suffered a partially torn quad muscle in a non-contact play during yesterday’s game in Miami.

Considering how it looked, the injury could have been much worse for Stephon Gilmore. His knees are fine, the quad should heal and he’ll he back to 100% long before next season. https://t.co/Zfz9UAUUgN

Better news for both Gilmore and the Patriots, as originally, the concern was that it may have been a serious knee injury. Thankfully the consensus is that he will be back to 100% for the start of 2021 pre-season, whether that be in New England or elsewhere.
