Aaron Glenn is setting expectations for the locker room.
The New York Jets are planning to release returner Xavier Gipson on Wednesday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.
Brian Costello of the New York Post first reported the news.
The move comes after Gipson had a costly fumble in the Jets’ 34-32 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. The kick returner put the ball on the ground in the fourth quarter. Two plays later, the Steelers were in the end zone, taking the lead from the Jets, who had controlled play for much of the first three quarters.
