Gipson wasn't targeted in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers, but he had three kickoff returns for 77 yards and a four-yard punt return.
Gipson was the intended receiver of a Tyrod Taylor pass on a two-point conversion in the final minute, but that play doesn't go down in the books as an official target. The slot receiver actually played 30 snaps on offense compared to just nine for Mike Williams and one for Malachi Corley. Once Williams is up to speed, he'll likely join Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard in three-receiver sets, but Gipson's usage suggests the second-year pro is capable of providing some value on offense early in the season, despite Monday's ineffectual season debut.
