The Giants signed Gipson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson signed with the Giants' practice squad after being waived by the Eagles, and the wide receiver will get his first shot with his new NFC East team in Week 18. The 24-year-old is set to be the secondary kick and punt returner behind Gunner Olszewski, and he will likely see most of his reps Sunday with the special-teams unit.

The Giants signed Gipson to their practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone & Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson has had a roller-coaster season. He began the campaign with the Jets before being waived Sept. 10. The wideout subsequently was claimed by the Giants, who then released him nine days later. Gipson ultimately landed with the Eagles and got into five games with them, totaling two catches on two targets for six yards while also contributing as a kick and punt returner before being cut Dec. 7. He'll now get a second look from the Giants, and if he's elevated for Sunday's matchup versus Washington, Gipson could be deployed as the team's lead return man, as Gunner Olszewski is currently in concussion protocol and was unable to practice Wednesday.

New York is expected to sign Gipson to the practice squad Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson was cut by Philadelphia on Monday and had previously missed Week 14 due to a shoulder injury. He practiced in full prior to being waived by the Eagles, however, so the return man and depth wideout is healthy as he's now on track to join the Giants.

The Eagles announced they have waived Gipson on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson missed the Eagles' Week 13 loss to the Bears due to a shoulder injury and was limited in practice until Friday, when he was a full participant. The 24-year-old had two receptions for six yards in six games this season.

Gipson (shoulder) was a full participant at practice Friday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson was still limited by the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 12 at Dallas to start the Eagles' preparations for Week 14, but he now appears to be back to full strength. He is on track to reclaim his return duties come Monday's game against the Chargers.

Gipson (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The kick and punt returner suffered the injury in Week 12 against the Cowboys, missed practice the following week and then sat out the game against the Bears in Week 13. His return to practice could be a sign that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Chargers, though his status Friday will still be worth monitoring. Gipson may get a chance to reclaim his kick and punt return duties if he comes back.

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

Gipson (shoulder) didn't participate in Philadelphia's practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson has now missed two consecutive practices after suffering a shoulder injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cowboys. Will Shipley should serve as the team's primary kick returner and Jahan Dotson should serve as the punt returner if Gipson is unable to suit up for Friday's matchup versus the Bears.

Gipson (shoulder) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson suffered a shoulder injury on a punt return late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys. His practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Bears on Friday. Gipson's absence would result in Will Shipley, Tank Bigsby and Jahan Dotson taking larger roles as returners on kickoffs and punts.

Gipson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Gipson sustained the injury late in the fourth quarter, when he fumbled the ball on a punt return. Will Shipley and Jahan Dotson would be in line for return duties on kickoffs and punts if Gipson is not cleared to return.
