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.

Gilmore had four total tackles, including a tackle for loss, in Sunday's win over Houston. Gilmore's late signing in training camp has added a needed steady veteran presence to a young secondary. However, he's allowed 16 receptions on 19 targets for a 91.0 NFL passer rating, according to Pro Football Focus, which is slightly worse than his last two seasons.

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.

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