Stephon Gilmore reported to the New England Patriots on Thursday and was subsequently placed on the active/physically unable to perform list due to a partially torn quad. 

Gimore had stayed away from voluntary practices in the spring, as well as mandatory minicamp, while publicly expressing a desire for the team to upgrade his contract.

Gilmore is scheduled to earn a base salary of $7 million in 2021. Gilmore is in the final year of the five-year, $65 million contract he signed with the Patriots as an unrestricted free agent in 2017.
