Safety rejoining Jaguars after five years away

A surprise signing, the Jacksonville Jaguars are welcoming back safety Tashaun Gipson Sr., who played for the team from 2016-18 before being released for cap-saving purposes in March 2019.

The team Jaguars/status/1822725070772646344′ target=’_blank’ rel=’noreferrer noopener’>announced the move Sunday afternoon. In a corresponding move, the Jaguars released linebacker Ty Summers.

According to ESPN’sAdam Schefter, Gipson is set to sign a one-year deal with the team. Gipson is set to serve a six-game suspension for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. He later accepted responsibility, but said in a statement in July that it was ‘in no way related to performance, training or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time.’

Gipson can compete in the preseason before returning to the team after his suspension.

During his three seasons with the Jaguars, Gipson was one of the stalwarts of the team’s secondary alongside cornerbacks Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye. He started all 48 games he played in, accounting for 159 total tackles, six interceptions and 16 pass breakups.

Gipson has played 12 years in the NFL for five different teams, including the Cleveland Browns who signed with the team as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming. He’s played in 173 games, starting 165. Gipson has accounted for 684 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, 68 pass breakups and 33 interceptions.
