Gipson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Atlanta, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports. Gipson was active for the first five weeks of the season while operating primarily on special teams. However, even with Seattle's linebacker corps dealing with several injuries, he has now been a healthy scratch for consecutive games.

The Jaguars traded Gipson on Monday in exchange for draft pick compensation. Gipson had just arrived in Jacksonville after the 2023 season, but he's now already headed to join forces with the Seahawks. With fellow edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu (knee) now expected to miss at least the early portion of the regular season, there's a chance Gipson could play a rotational role during the first couple games of the new year.

The Bears waived Gipson on Tuesday, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports. Gipson requested a trade Saturday after seeing his role diminish during training camp. Unable to find a trade partner, the Bears opted to let go of Gipson, who will look for opportunities elsewhere should he clear waivers. The 2020 fifth-round pick out of Tulsa has accumulated 75 tackles (41 solo), 10 sacks, five forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 40 games over his three-year career.

The Bears have given Gipson permission to seek a trade, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Gipson saw his production decrease for the Bears in 2022, as he was in a nearly equal timeshare with Al-Quadin Muhammad. He is looking at a similar role in the upcoming season and would prefer to find a defense with a 3-4 system. It is unclear what his market value will be or how quickly a trade will be completed.

Gipson recorded a sack and one tackle in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Gipson recorded a sack for the first time since notching a pair of them in Week 2. He's recorded two or fewer tackles in 12 of his last 13 games, and he'll remain a low-floor IDP option in Week 18 against Minnesota.
