The 49ers signed Gipson to the practice squad Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gipson was released by the Jaguars on Monday after serving his six-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancing substances policy. Gipson played for the 49ers in 2022 and 2023, and across 33 regular-season games as the starting safety he logged 121 tackles (84 solo), including 1.5 sacks, 11 pass breakups and six interceptions. Gipson could be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster should any of the 49ers' secondary be sidelined due to injury.

The Jaguars released Gipson on Monday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Gipson completed his six-game suspension in mid-October but still had yet to be activated to Jacksonville's active roster before his release Monday. The veteran safety appeared in 16 regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, recording 60 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and intercepting one pass. He could be a hot name for teams in need of secondary help on the free-agent market.

Gipson, who finished serving his six-game suspension in mid-October, was moved to the commissioner's exempt list Saturday, which puts him on a path toward being reinstated to the Jaguars' active roster, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Gipson was suspended by the NFL in July for six games after violating the league's performance enhancing substances policy. He remained on the commissioner's suspended list after the first six contests of the regular season, and while he won't be able to return to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles, he should be available for Week 10 against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 10. Across 16 regular-season games with the 49ers in 2023, Gipson logged 60 tackles (41 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one interception.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Gipson has served his six-game suspension but that he's uncertain whether Jacksonville will be given clearance to activate him from the commissioner's suspended list in time for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports. Pederson said the Jaguars are "waiting on the league" to get Gipson back from the commissioner's suspended list, making his status unclear for Sunday's game in London. The veteran safety traveled abroad with the team Week 6, Zach Goodall of USA Today reports, and if he's reinstated in time to suit up versus New England, it sounds like he'll be a part of Jacksonville's defensive gameplan.

Gipson has been suspended the first six games of the 2024 regular season for violating the NFL's performance enhancing substances policy, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gipson, who remains a free agent, will likely have a more difficult time finding interest from teams around the league now that he'll be unavailable for the first six games of the season. The veteran safety spent the prior two years in San Francisco, where he started 16 regular-season contests in 2023. Now, Gipson might ultimately need to wait until his suspension has run its course before finding a new home.
