Gipson was signed to the 49ers' active roster Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson was originally released by San Francisco as part of their final roster cuts, then re-signed to their practice squad. However, the former Bear was elevated to the main roster and drew the start at free safety in Week 1. Now officially signed to the active roster, Gipson will take the field with the team again in Week 2 against the Seahawks.

Gipson reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
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 will 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.

The 49ers elevated Gipson to the active roster Saturday, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 10-year pro joined the 49ers on Aug. 22, and while he didn't survive roster cuts on 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.

The 49ers signed Gipson to the practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
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. The 32-year-old will now be eligible to sign with an active roster elsewhere while on the 49ers' practice squad.

The 49ers released Gipson on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Gipson signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Gipson notched three tackles in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 47 tackles, a sack and two interceptions.
EDGE Analysis
As he's done for much of his career, Gipson continued to post roughly four tackles per game playing in a full-time role at strong safety. He'll enter the offseason with three void years on his contract, so whether he remains with the Bears or latches on elsewhere, he should remain a high-floor IDP as he enters his age-32 season.

Gipson picked off a pass and recorded three tackles in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson had posted 13 tackles over the last two games, and his interception salvaged his fantasy day. Based on his seasonal production, he'll be a volatile fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Gipson was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson was one of five Chicago players to be removed from the league's health and safety protocols Monday. He's expected to assume his usual starting spot in the Bears' secondary during their Week 17 matchup with the Giants.

Gipson landed on the reserve COVID-19 list Sunday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.
