Gipson is expected to have competition as New York's primary return-specialist heading into the 2024 season, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Gipson operated as the Jets' kick returner and punt returner for the entirety of the 2023 season, but with the team signing running back Tarik Cohen on Wednesday, Gipson may not be a shoo-in for the role again in 2024. Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Gipson will get "first dibs", but the returning job is an "open competition."

Xavier Gipson Latest News
Competition as primary returner
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Jets-football.png?w=150)
Gipson is expected to have competition as New York's primary return-specialist heading into the 2024 season, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Gipson operated as the Jets' kick returner and punt returner for the entirety of the 2023 season, but with the team signing running back Tarik Cohen on Wednesday, Gipson may not be a shoo-in for the role again in 2024. Head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Gipson will get "first dibs", but the returning job is an "open competition."
Two catches in Week 12
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Jets-football.png?w=150)
Gipson didn't see a change in role due to Allen Lazard (coach's decision) being benched, as fellow undrafted rookie Jason Brownlee took over Lazard's usual role on the outside while Gipson remained in the slot. Gipson also had one kickoff return for 28 yards.
Career-high three Week 10 targets
![Team logo](https://cdn.statically.io/img/heavy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Jets-football.png?w=150)
For the second consecutive game, Gipson finished second among the Jets' wide receivers in receiving yards behind Breece Hall. The undrafted rookie out of Stephen F. Austin has flashed some big-play ability, but he hasn't been targeted frequently enough to produce consistently on offense, as Gipson's three targets Sunday marked a new career high.
