Stephon Gilmore attempted to plant his foot while in coverage Sunday and saw his season end in an instant. Ian Rapoport reports the All-Pro CB suffered a partially torn quadriceps and will undergo surgery but should be able to participate in some portion of New England’s offseason program, Rapoport added.
Gilmore won the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award in 2019 after tying for the league lead in interceptions with six and leading the NFL in passes defensed with 20. His teammate, J.C. Jackson, currently ranks second in interceptions with eight, while Gilmore will finish 2020 with just one.
