Former 49ers safety Tashaun Gipson suspended for 6 games by NFL for violating PED policy

According to a report by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tashaun Gipson, a former safety for the San Francisco 49ers, has been suspended by the NFL for six games due to a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy. The specific details of the violation have not been disclosed.

Gipson, a former Pro Bowler, spent the past two seasons with the 49ers and played a significant role as a full-time starter during that time. In the 33 games he played for San Francisco, he accumulated 60 tackles, one sack, one interception, and three passes defended in the 2023 season when the team made a Super Bowl run. In the 2022 season, he recorded five interceptions and eight passes defended.

Despite his contributions to the team, the 49ers declined to extend Gipson’s contract after he played on a one-year deal worth $2.9 million last season. As a result, he is currently a free agent as the NFL enters its summer break between offseason activities and training camp. The suspension may hinder his chances of finding a new team before the upcoming season begins, as teams may be less inclined to sign a player who will miss the first six games.
