Eagles' Xavier Gipson: Ruled out for Friday

Gipson (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Bears.

Gipson suffered a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys and was unable to practice during the week in any capacity. In Gipson's absence, Will Shipley should be the team's primary kick returner, and Jahan Dotson and Britain Covey seem the likeliest candidates to serve as the punt returner for Friday's matchup against the Bears.
