Stephon Gilmore has a new NFL home, and it's a familiar one.
The New England Patriots traded the All-Pro cornerback Wednesday to the Carolina Panthers for a 2023 sixth-round pick. It's a homecoming of sorts for Gilmore, who grew up in and played at South Carolina.
The Panthers inherit the roughly $6 million remaining on Gilmore's deal for the rest of 2021, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported.
The former Defensive Player of the Year has yet to make his 2021 debut after beginning the season on the physically unable to perform list. He is eligible to return Week 7. Carolina hosts the Pats in Week 9.

NFL Network's Mike Giardi reported Gilmore is "healthy" and has been running.
"There is nothing wrong with the quad," Giardi said on NFL Now.
Around The NFL will have more on this story shortly.
