Former 49ers safety suspended for 1st 6 games of 2024 season

Former 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson has been suspended for the first six games in the 2024 season according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 in Houston.

It’s unclear why the suspension was handed down to Gipson, who spent the last two seasons as the 49ers’ starting free safety. He’s currently a free agent, and his suspension could wind up deterring teams from signing the soon-to-be 34-year-old.

Gipson started all 33 games he played for the 49ers the last two seasons. He racked up six interceptions, 11 pass breakups and 1.5 sacks. A reunion didn’t appear to be in the works given how crowded San Francisco’s safety room is. Now it is likely off the table entirely.
