Giants Waive Returner Xavier Gipson Ahead of Week 3 vs. Chiefs

The transaction created a roster spot for outside linebacker Tomon Fox before the prime-time matchup.

Overview

  • New York cut Gipson on Saturday, less than two weeks after claiming him off waivers from the Jets.
  • Gipson did not appear in a game for the Giants and is now a free agent with no immediate practice-squad move announced.
  • The waiver capped a two-week span in which both New York teams released the 24-year-old return specialist.
  • He was initially let go by the Jets after a Sept. 7 kickoff fumble that factored into a 34-32 loss to the Steelers.
  • With return roles in flux and Gunner Olszewski listed as questionable, some coverage suggested Tyrone Tracy Jr. could handle kicks for Week 3.
