The NFL has suspended free agent safety Tashaun Gipson for the first six games of the 2024 season. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the reason for the suspension is a violation of the NFL’s policy on performance enhancing substances.
Gipson, who is 33 years old, spent the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. During that time, he started 34 out of a possible 35 regular-season games and played in all six postseason games. In the 2023 season, he recorded one sack, one interception, and three passes defensed in 16 games.
Throughout his 12 seasons in the NFL, Gipson has played for five different teams. He has amassed a total of 684 tackles, 33 interceptions, and 68 pass breakups. Despite his successful career, Gipson has only been selected to the Pro Bowl once, which was in 2014 when he played for the Cleveland Browns.
