FRISCO, Texas – Dallas Cowboys starting cornerback Stephon Gilmore says he expects to play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, despite injuring his shoulder in the final game of the season.
Gilmore dislocated his shoulder during the Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders and has not participated in practice since.
The veteran corner addressed the media on Wednesday and said he will be on the field.
“We have a great opportunity in front of us and trying to take full advantage of it, because, you know, it’s not easy to get here. So we’re going to need everybody,” Gilmore said.
The defensive back was asked if he would have to wear a harness to help support his shoulder during the game.
“Maybe,” he replied.
He says he has worn a harness on the field before and just wants to be able to be himself.
“A lot of guys have a lot of things throughout the season they have to play through,” he said. “It’s just another thing for myself. I’ve played through a lot this year. It comes with the territory and you have to make it work.”
