49ers' Tashaun Gipson: Re-signing with San Francisco
Rotowire
Gipson agreed to a one-year, $2.9 million contract with the 49ers on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Gipson joined the 49ers ahead of the 2022 campaign and carved out a starting role late in the year. He tallied 61 tackles (43 solo), including 0.5 sacks, five interceptions and eight pass defenses while appearing in all 17 games. Gipson should have a chance to maintain a prominent role in San Francisco's secondary in 2023.

49ers' Tashaun Gipson: Hits practice squad
Rotowire
Gipson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Gipson drew the start at free safety in San Francisco's season opener after being elevated from the team's practice squad Saturday. The veteran recorded three tackles while playing all but one of the 49ers' defensive snaps against the Bears. Gipson is now eligible for two more practice squad elevations, which should help provide the team additional roster flexibility while Jimmie Ward (hamstring) sits out on IR until Week 5.

49ers' Tashaun Gipson: Jumps to active roster
Rotowire
The 49ers elevated Gipson to the active roster Saturday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
The 10-year pro joined the 49ers on Aug. 22, and while he didn't survive roster cuts Aug. 30, he landed on the team's practice squad two days later. With Jimmie Ward (hamstring) on IR to start the season, Saturday's move may be a common one over the first four weeks to ensure suitable depth at safety for San Francisco.

Gipson initially signed with San Francisco on Aug. 22 after playing in a starting safety role with the Bears over the past two seasons, but he was let go amidst the team's final round of roster cuts Tuesday.

Tashaun Gipson: Released by San Fran
Rotowire
The 49ers released Gipson on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Gipson operated as a starter in back-to-back seasons with the Bears before signing a one-year deal with San Francisco a week ago. However, the veteran defensive back now finds himself among a wave of cuts ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. Gipson has recorded at least 40 tackles and one interception in nine straight seasons, so he figures to garner at least some attention as a free agent.

49ers' Tashaun Gipson: Inks deal with San Francisco
Rotowire
Gipson signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday.
Gipson will head to San Francisco after back-to-back seasons in a starting safety role with Chicago. After recording the second-highest single-season tackle mark (66) of his career in 2020, the 32-year-old followed up with a subpar 2021 campaign in which he posted just 47 tackles while playing a career-low 628 defensive snaps over 12 starts. Gipson should now provide veteran depth behind free safety Jimmie Ward with the 49ers.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Moved to COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Gipson landed on the reserve COVID-19 list Sunday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
The Bears continue to struggle with COVID-19 cases, and losing Gipson for any length of time is a blow for Chicago since he's an integral part of the team's defensive scheme. This will likely mean more snaps for the likes of Teez Tabor, Marqui Christian or Deon Bush.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Questionable against Niners
Rotowire
Gipson (hip) is considered questionable for the Bears' Week 8 contest against the 49ers on Sunday.
Gipson was forced to miss the Bears' Week 7 matchup against the Buccaneers dealing with a hip injury he suffered after Week 6. The safety was limited in practice every day leading up to Week 8, so expect Gipson to be a game-time decision. If Gipson is unable to play, Deandre Houston-Carson will likely fill in at safety against the 49ers.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Notches sack
Rotowire
Gipson recorded a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
This was Gipson's first action since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2, and he's collected exactly three tackles in each game he's played this year. His lack of solid tackle numbers make him a low-floor IDP option.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Another productive season
Rotowire
Gipson recorded three tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Gipson was a solid starter for the Bears, posting 66 tackles and a pair of interceptions. He'll be going to the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but whether he's with Chicago or another team, as long as he's in the starting lineup, he should continue to be a strong IDP option.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Fine to play Week 17
Rotowire
Gipson (neck) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Gipson was designated on the team's injury report as having a neck issue throughout the week, but he ultimately was still capable of logging three full practice sessions between Wednesday and Friday. He's expectedly gained clearance for the all-important NFC North showdown, aligning Gipson for his 16th start of the season at strong safety. He's totaled 63 tackles, seven pass deflections and two interceptions coming into Sunday's tilt.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Dealing with injury
Rotowire
Gipson (foot) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Gipson had a busy game in last week's loss to the Saints, racking up eight tackles across 73 of 74 defensive snaps. It's unclear how serious the injury is, as the team could be electing to rest the Wyoming product. If Gipson were to suffer a setback, Deon Bush would be in line for the start at strong safety.

Bears' Tashaun Gipson: Can't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Gipson did not practice Wednesday due to a lower back injury, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
Gipson is the clear leading candidate to win Chicago's strong safety gig in training camp, but he'd still be well served to get back to practice as soon as possible. As the 30-year-old veteran works to master the Bears' defensive scheme, maximizing his practice reps would no doubt be beneficial.

Gipson (lower back) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
