Philadelphia Eagles Sign Wide Receiver Xavier Gipson Off Waivers

Xavier Gipson, after being released by the Jets and subsequently by the Giants, has been claimed off waivers by the Philadelphia Eagles, marking his third team this NFL season. Gipson's release from the Jets followed a costly fumble in Week 1, which contributed to their loss, and his brief tenure with the Giants ended as they needed roster space due to injuries and roster moves. The Eagles, facing special teams challenges and injuries in their wide receiver corps, saw Gipson's return skills and receiver experience as valuable additions, especially given recent kickoff rule changes. Meanwhile, the Giants adjusted their roster by adding and waiving linebacker Tomon Fox and contended with several injuries in their linebacker group. Gipson's journey highlights the volatility for undrafted players as teams manage injuries and roster needs during the early part of the NFL season.
