Philadelphia Eagles sign wide receiver Xavier Gipson to the practice squad
Summary

The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver and return specialist Xavier Gipson to the team's practice squad on September 11, 2026. The move follows the decision to place wide receiver Danny Gray on injured reserve. Gipson returns to the organization after previously spending time with the team during the 2025 season. He originally joined the Eagles after being claimed off waivers from the New York Giants and appeared in nine games while contributing primarily on special teams. Given his previous experience with the team's internal terminology and special teams operations, officials expect Gipson to transition into his new role quickly. The signing aims to maintain depth at the wide receiver position as the club enters the opening week of the regular season.
