The redshirt sophomore was hurt in Maryland’s 31-17 loss at West Virginia. He will be replaced by redshirt sophomore R.J. Dill, who moves from right tackle. Redshirt freshman Pete DeSouza, a 6-6, 310-pounder from DeMatha, will assume Dill’s job on the right side.
The injury is a huge loss for the Terps. Gilbert had made significant strides since last season and was off to a solid start.
