Xavier Gipson’s brief odyssey as a member of the New York Giants is over. Gipson, a kick returner/wide receiver was claimed on waivers Monday by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Giants claimed Gipson, 24, from the New York Jets on Sept. 11. In need of a roster spot for Sunday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to injuries at other positions, the Giants waived Gipson on Saturday.

It is likely that the Giants were hoping to pass Gipson through waivers and re-sign him to their practice squad. Like when the Giants cut seventh-round pick Korie Black a few weeks ago and he chose to sign with the New York Jets practice squad rather than stay with the Giants, they ended up losing Gipson.
