Overview
- New York announced Wednesday that it released WR/KR Xavier Gipson and added WR/KR Isaiah Williams from the Bengals' practice squad.
- Gipson’s fourth-quarter kickoff fumble set up a Steelers touchdown two plays later in a 34-32 Week 1 loss at MetLife Stadium.
- Glenn criticized turnovers after the game and said such errors would not be tolerated, then acted on that message with the cut.
- Gipson, an undrafted 2023 signee, authored a walk-off punt-return TD in his NFL debut but carried a noted history of ball-security issues.
- With Kene Nwangwu sidelined by a hamstring issue, Williams is slated for return duties as the Jets also consider options such as Arian Smith, Isaiah Davis and practice-squad receiver Jamaal Pritchett.
