The Carolina Panthers are about to add to their defense.
According to Joe Person of The Athletic , the team is signing outside linebacker Trevis Gipson off of the San Francisco 49ers ' practice squad.
The Cedar Hill, Texas native and University of Tulsa product was selected by the Chicago Bears in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft. His most productive season to date came in 2021, when he notched career-highs in combined tackles (39), sacks (7.0) and forced fumbles (five).
Chicago would waive Gipson prior to the 2023 campaign during final roster cuts. He'd go on to pick up stops with the Tennessee Titans (2023), Jacksonville Jaguars (2024), Seattle Seahawks (2024) and the 49ers (2025).
Gipson appeared in the last four games for San Francisco , and is fresh off recording a season-high 39 defensive snaps in Week 8. He's tallied two tackles and a fumble recovery in 2025.
