Xavier Gipson - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Stays in Big Apple with Big Blue Gipson was claimed off waivers by the Giants on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gipson won't have to move after being claimed by the Jets' MetLife Stadium roommates the day after being waived by New York's AFC team. His costly fumble on a kickoff return in Week 1 proved to be the end of the line for Gipson with the Jets, but he has shown some explosiveness in the return game when he holds onto the ball, so the Giants could utilize the 5-foot-9 wide receiver on special teams.

Impact The undrafted wideout from Stephen F. Austin has served as one of the Jets' top return men since entering the league in 2023.

Costly fumble in Week 1 loss Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers, but he had five kickoff returns for 142 yards, two punt returns for 19 yards and lost a fumble.

Impact Gipson took over kick return duties in addition to his customary role returning punts on special teams after usual kickoff return man Kene Nwangwu exited due to a hamstring injury. Nwangwu's injury proved extremely costly, as Gipson's fumble was sandwiched between two Steelers touchdowns in a three-play span, which turned a 26-17 Jets lead into a 31-26 deficit. Gipson has put the ball on the ground 10 times in 35 NFL games, and any further ball security issues could cost him his job.
