Overview

• The team announced the waiver claim Monday and made room by cutting offensive lineman Kenyon Green.
• Gipson was waived by the Jets after a Week 1 kickoff fumble, claimed by the Giants, then released nine days later without appearing in a game before landing in Philadelphia.
• The Eagles’ decision followed a Week 3 win in which John Metchie III and Tank Bigsby struggled to field Joshua Karty’s knuckleball kickoffs, and rookie Darius Cooper exited with a shoulder injury.
• Gipson brings proven return production — 68 career punt returns for 604 yards and a TD, plus 44 kick returns for 1,142 yards — but he has a documented ball-security issue with 10 career fumbles.
• Because he was claimed off waivers, Gipson stays on his Jets rookie contract, and Green can return to the practice squad if he clears waivers; Gipson is expected to compete immediately for kick and punt-return duties.
