NFL Suspends Former 49ers Safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. for Six Games for PED Violation
The NFL has suspended former 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. for six games, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Sources indicate that the free-agent safety violated the league’s performance-enhancing drug (PED) policy.
Gipson, who spent the last two seasons with San Francisco, originally joined the team in 2022 and re-signed in 2023 on a one-year, $2.9 million deal. The veteran safety started 16 games for the 49ers in 2023, recording 60 tackles, one sack, and one interception. He also started all three playoff games, tallying five tackles in the 49ers’ Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
A former Pro Bowler, Gipson entered the NFL in 2012 and has had previous stints with the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, and Chicago Bears. He will turn 34 in August.
