Free-agent safety Tashaun Gipson received a six-game suspension last week for reportedly violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.On Monday, Gipson released a statement accepting responsibility for the suspension while also noting that he intends to play in 2024."During this offseason, I took a supplement one time, which I thought to be completely safe and well within any of the NFL's policies," Gipson said. "It was in no way related to performance, training, or gaining an advantage of any kind at any time. I have competed at this level for a long time, and have nothing but respect for the game and the fraternity of players in it.
