• Jets' Xavier Gipson: No targets again

  20H ago • By RotoWire

  Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans. He had two kickoff returns for 57 yards and three punt returns for 35 yards. Gipson's snap share on offense plummeted from 59 to 11 percent, corresponding with an increase from 18 to 65 percent for Mike Williams. As long as Williams, Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard are healthy, those three are poised to operate in the majority of three-receiver sets, leaving Gipson relegated primarily to a special-teams role.

• Jets' Xavier Gipson: Blanked on Monday

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Jets' Xavier Gipson: Back on practice field

  08/06/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gipson (leg) returned to practice Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Gipson had been sidelined since the late July with an undisclosed leg injury, making his return a notable development for the Jets' offense. In addition to profiling as New York's top return man, especially since the surprise retirement of Tarik Cohen, Gipson figures to rotate alongside Allen Lazard and Malachi Corley in the No. 3 wide receiver role behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams (knee), the latter of whom remains on the active/PUP list.

  07/26/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Gipson (leg) suffered an injury at practice Thursday and is expected to miss a week or two, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Gipson walked off the practice field with a notable limp, per Brian Costello of the New York Post, but the specifics of his leg injury remain undisclosed. As a rookie last season, Gipson suited up for all 17 games and worked as the Jets' primary kick and punt returner, but he now faces competition from Tarik Cohen and Isaiah Davis.

• Jets' Xavier Gipson: Competition as primary returner

  05/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Gipson is expected to have competition as New York's primary return specialist heading into the 2024 season, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Gipson operated as the Jets' kick returner and punt returner for the entirety of the 2023 season, but with the team signing running back Tarik Cohen on Wednesday, Gipson may not be a shoo-in for the role again in 2024. Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Gipson will get "first dibs," but the returning job is an "open competition."
