Gilmore suffered a torn labrum while tackling Texans running back Akeem Hunt in Buffalo's Week 13 win over Houston. He had surgery to repair the injury, according to NFL.com

The Bills signed outside linebacker/defensive end Max Valles from the Raiders' practice squad to fill Gilmore's spot on the roster. The rookie was a sixth-round draft pick out of Virginia.
