September 10, 2025
The New York Jets have released wide receiver Xavier Gipson after his costly fumble on a kickoff return. Gipson, in his third season, made the mistake during Sunday’s season-opening loss to Pittsburgh. The Jets lost 34-32. Coach Aaron Glenn criticized the team’s turnovers after the game and confirmed the decision Wednesday but insisted he wasn’t trying to send a message about accountability. Glenn said it wasn’t a rash decision and was based on a number of factors. The Jets also signed wide receiver and return specialist Isaiah Williams off Cincinnati’s practice squad.
