Veteran free agent safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. is returning to the Jacksonville Jaguars on a one-year deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday. Gipson previously played in Jacksonville from 2016 to 2018. He has been suspended for the first six games of the 2024 season for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substances policy. Gipson will complete the preseason with the Jaguars, then rejoin the team following his suspension. The 34-year-old acknowledged responsibility last month, saying he took a supplement without realizing it was in violation of the rules but that he accepted the suspension. "It was in no way related to performance, training, or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time," Gipson said in a statement at the time. "I have competed at this level for a long time, and have nothing but respect for the game and the fraternity of players in it.

While it's disappointing to see a veteran like Tashaun Gipson Sr. face a suspension, it's commendable that he's taking full responsibility for his actions. His experience and leadership will still be a valuable asset to the Jaguars once he's back. Hopefully, this serves as a reminder to all players to be extra cautious about what they put in their bodies. Looking forward to seeing Gipson back on the field after the suspension!
