From the article

He wasn't necessarily bad, but it was clear that his role within the unit — just like New England's run game as a whole — was a work in progress. That progress now takes a hit with the 29-year-old not eligible to return to practice until early November. New England's run game had struggled even with him on the active roster, and Gilliam himself had played merely 22% of offense snaps thus far (plus 41% on special teams).

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Gilliam's role was limited at 22% snap share before injury sidelined him.

Despite the significant investment, Gilliam's role was already limited and uncertain before injury; he played only 22% of offensive snaps (plus 41% on special teams) and the source notes his role within the unit was 'a work in progress.' New England's run game had struggled even with him active, suggesting his on-field impact was already being questioned.
