Xavier Gipson - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Catches short TD in Week 8 Gipson caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Gipson made the most of his first target since Week 4, securing a tough catch on a low throw right at the goal line, which was upheld as a touchdown upon review. His contributions as a slot receiver come second to Gipson's special teams exploits. The second-year pro had 71 yards on four punt returns.

Two fumbles go out of bounds Gispon had two kickoff returns for 51 yards and two punt returns for four yards but wasn't targeted on offense in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Gipson was on the field for only one play on offense, as he remains a non-factor in a receiving corps that now includes Davante Adams. The return man dropped the ball twice on punt returns, but both fumbles went out of bounds. Gipson's a dangerous return man, but he'll need to get the ball security issues under control lest his special teams role shrinks as well.

Remains limited to special teams Gipson wasn't targeted and had one punt return for eight yards in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.

Impact Gipson remains limited almost exclusively to special teams duties. Finding snaps for the undersized receiver will be even harder moving forward, as the Jets are finalizing a trade for wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) ahead of Sunday's road game against the Steelers.

No targets in London loss Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings and returned two punts for 31 yards.

Impact Aaron Rodgers threw the ball 54 times, but none of those passes were directed at Gipson, as the Jets utilized Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Mike Williams in three-receiver sets. Gipson contributed to the Jets' comeback bid with a 31-yard punt return, which helped set up New York's first touchdown late in the first half. He's a good special teams player but doesn't have much of a role on offense at the moment.

Catches only one of four targets Gipson caught one of four targets for six yards while adding two kickoff returns for 50 yards and five punt returns for 31 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Gipson got plenty of special teams opportunities as offense was hard to come by in rainy conditions at MetLife Stadium, but he had a forgettable afternoon on offense. The second-year pro set a season high in targets, but he didn't exactly earn Aaron Rodgers' trust, registering a drop and then failing to get his head around on a pivotal third-down pass late in the game.

Makes first two catches of 2024 Gipson caught both of his targets for 16 yards and had four punt returns for 27 yards in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.

Impact Gipson was one of eight Jets to catch multiple passes in Thursday's win, as Aaron Rodgers had his best game as a Jet with 281 passing yards and two touchdowns. While Gipson's shiftiness offers a path to playing time in the slot and as a gadget piece, most of his contributions have come on special teams, with Garrett Wilson, Mike Williams and Allen Lazard all well ahead of the second-year pro in the team's wide receiver pecking order.

No targets again 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.

Impact 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.

Blanked on MNF 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.

Impact 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.

Back on practice field Gipson (leg) returned to practice Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.

Expected to miss a few weeks Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Gipson (leg) suffered an injury at practice and is expected to miss a week or two, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.
