The 49ers on Thursday held a workout with veteran safety Tashaun Gipson per the NFL’s transaction wire. He was one of the available defensive backs we thought the 49ers might bring in to replace Jimmie Ward while the starting free safety works through a hamstring injury.
Gipson entered the league as an undrafted rookie with the Browns in 2012. He went on to carve out a nice career over the last 10 years where he played in 140 games with 132 starts for the Browns, Jaguars, Texans and Bears.
