He won’t be able to play vs. the #Eagles because he’s on PUP. https://t.co/bDVgVIKSJF

The Eagles will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 5, and they’ll have a high-profile cornerback on the sidelines.
After discussions about a potential release, Stephon Gilmore has been traded from the Patriots to the Panthers.
The Patriots landed a 2023 sixth-round pick for Gilmore just hours before they were set to release the All-Pro and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Gilmore has been on the PUP list with a quad injury and had he been released outright, he could have been a participant on Sunday afternoon. For now, Gilmore will be out until at least Week 6.
