FOXBOROUGH - Stephon Gilmore said he’s always anxious to get on the football field. But it was a little extra this week.
Eleven days ago, the Patriots cornerback who was the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year tested positive for COVID-19. He never experienced symptoms of the virus, but went through the required isolation process.
“I didn’t (experience symptoms), but it’s a process you have to go through,” he said. “It was unfortunate, but I’m past it. I was able to suit up and play. You know that’s what it’s about.”
Gilmore was diagnosed on Oct.
