Kyle’s update, Monday, August 22, 8:08 AM PT: The 49ers have officially signed Tashaun Gipson. This comes after some questionable tackling and run fits at safety during the second preseason game. Gipson, if called upon to play, brings reliability to the position.
It’s unclear when San Francisco 49ers' safety Jimmie Ward will return to the lineup as he deals with a “pretty bad” hamstring injury. The current safeties are Talanoa Hufanga, Tarvarius Moore, George Odum, and Dontae Johnson.
ESPN’s Field Yates reported the 49ers worked out veteran safety Tashaun Gipson. This could be a sign that the team is unhappy with its current safety play, needs a camp body, or isn’t anticipating Ward’s return anytime soon.
