Will play versus Bills
Gay returned to practice Friday and is slated to play Sunday against the Bills, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The linebacker didn't practice Thursday, with his absence listed as not injury related/personal. Per Teicher, Gay pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor charge of criminal property damage of less than $1,000 following an incident Wednesday night. In 12 regular season games (including 11 starts), the 2020 second-round draft choice recorded 48 tackles and two interceptions.

Arrested on misdemeanor charge
Gay was arrested Wednesday in Overland Park, Kan. in a misdemeanor criminal damage case, KCTV 5 News Kansas City reports.
Analysis: The circumstances that resulted in Gay's arrest aren't yet known, but he was booked overnight in the Johnson County Detention Center and is scheduled to make an appearance in court Thursday at 1:30 p.m. local time. His availability for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Bills is in question while his legal situation remains in flux.

Activated from COVID-19 list
Gay (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Gay was unavailable for Thursday's win over the Chargers after he tested positive for COVID-19, but he returned to practice Wednesday. The 23-year-old should be able to return to game action in Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Gay was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday and has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Gay was a full participant in practice Monday and Tuesday, but was one of several Chiefs who landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday. Melvin Ingram will likely take on a starting role against the Chargers, while Gay's next chance to return will be Dec. 26 against Pittsburgh.

Eight stops during SNF
Gay registered eight tackles (four solo), one pass deflection and a half-sack during Sunday's 22-9 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Coming off the bye week, Gay registered his most tackles in a game since Week 8. The second-year linebacker hasn't been a consistent fantasy producer this season, but he's shown flashes of being a disruptive player. On the season, he's totaled 33 tackles, three pass deflections, two interceptions and a half-sack across eight appearances.

Back at practice
Gay (illness) was able to practice fully for the Chiefs on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gay suffered a stomach illness near the end of the Chiefs' Week 10 win over the Raiders. The linebacker is expected to be good to go for Sunday's Week 11 contest with the Cowboys.

Dealing with stomach illness
Gay emerged from Sunday's win over the Raiders battling a stomach illness, per coach Andy Reid, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gay will presumably be good to go by the time the Chiefs face the Cowboys in Week 11, but further clarification on his status should arrive when Kansas City resumes practicing Wednesday. He had four tackles (one solo) in the 41-14 win over Vegas.

Will play Sunday night
Gay (toe) is active for Sunday night's game against the Bills, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Analysis: Gay's return was evident when he was activated from injured reserve Saturday. He'll resume his usual role at linebacker, though he may not play full time as he gets back up to speed.

Returns from IR
Gay was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: The linebacker has yet to appear in a game this season while nursing a toe injury. He is still deemed questionable for Sunday night's matchup versus the Bills. Gay made 39 tackles and one sack while forcing a fumble in 2020.

Receives return designation
Gay (toe) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Gay has spent the first four weeks of the season on injured reserve but can now resume practicing. He'll have a 21-day window where he can be activated before reverting to injured reserve for the rest of 2021.

Close to returning from IR
Coach Andy Reid said Monday that "there's a chance" Gay (toe) could be activated from injured reserve this week, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Reid said that Gay is starting to feel better, but he wasn't ready to make any definitive statements about his activation. Ben Niemann (head) may be unavailable, so the Chiefs could certainly use the 23-year-old linebacker against the Bills this week. Gay has yet to make his 2021 debut.

Moves to injured reserve
Gay (toe) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Gay suffered the injury during the preseason finale against the Vikings and will miss at least the first three games of the season. The 2020 second-round pick recorded 39 tackles (29 solo), one sack and one forced fumble in 16 games as a rookie last season.

Enters concussion protocol
Gay entered the concussion protocol after he exited Wednesday's practice with a head injury, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: While Kansas City doesn't expect Gay to miss significant time, he'll need to clear several benchmarks before he's allowed to return to practice. The team plans to be careful with the linebacker in the coming days to avoid rushing him back, and it's not yet clear whether the issue will impact his availability for the preseason opener against the 49ers on Aug. 14.

Suffers possible concussion
Gay (head) exited Wednesday's practice early to be evaluated for a concussion, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: If Gay is diagnosed with a concussion, he will enter the league's protocol for such injuries and have to clear a number of steps before returning to practice in full. The second-year pro has already fully recovered from January surgery undergone to repair a torn meniscus.

Lands on injured reserve
Gay (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: The 23-year-old underwent surgery on a torn meniscus last week, so he already was ruled out for the Super Bowl. Gay should have plenty of time to recover in time for the 2021 season. Darius Harris should have an increased defensive role for the Chiefs in his absence.

Out after meniscus surgery
Gay (knee) has undergone surgery to address a torn meniscus and will miss the Super Bowl versus Tampa Bay, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Analysis: Gay is reportedly facing a four-month recovery timetable, which would put him on track for the start of the 2021 season and a fair amount of tentative offseason activities. The rookie second-round pick's absence should position Darius Harris for an increased role versus the Buccaneers in the Super Bowl.

Ruled out again
Gay (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills.
Analysis: Gay still has yet to resume practicing since suffering an ankle injury against the Chargers in Week 17. Darius Harris stands to once again handle an increased defensive role with Gay sidelined.

Won't play Sunday
Gay (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup against the Browns, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Gay remains sidelined due to a left ankle sprain sustained during Kansas City's regular-season finale against the Chargers. With the rookie second-round pick out, Darius Harris could handle a substantial defensive role against the Browns.

Nursing ankle sprain
Gay suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Gay was quickly ruled out to return to Sunday's contest upon being injured, which could be a bad sign for the severity of the injury. With the Chiefs having secured a bye to begin the playoffs, however, the rookie second-round pick will at least benefit from an additional week to recover.

Officially out
Gay (leg) will not return to Sunday's game.
Analysis: Gay is officially listed as out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The extent of the linebacker's leg injury is still unknown, but it is likely Darius Harris will take over his duties. Gay has registered 38 tackles (28 solo) and one sack this season.

Questionable to return
Gay left Sunday's game due to a leg injury.
Analysis: While the extent of issue is unclear at this time, Gay is questionable to return after getting injured at the end of the first quarter. It's unclear whether it was Gay's ankle or leg that was injured, but Darius Harris likely will take over Gay's linebacker duties if the 22-year-old is unable to return.

Rings up nine stops
Gay posted nine tackles and a forced fumble in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Gay logged season highs in tackles and defensive snaps (49), adding the first forced fumble of his career as well. The rookie second-round pick out of Mississippi State has been an inconsistent fantasy contributor this season with just 38 tackles over 15 games.

Logs first career sack
Gay posted six tackles (five solo) and a sack in Sunday's 40-32 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Gay played just 15 defensive snaps through the first three weeks, but the rookie second-rounder is getting comfortable at the NFL level and is receiving more work as a result. He logged a season-high 47 percent snap share Sunday and capitalized with his first career sack. Gay's usage stands to rise even more after that performance, so he could carve out fantasy utility in the near future.

Working as backup early
Gay has been working as the backup to Damien Wilson at the "SAM" linebacker position early in training camp, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.
Analysis: When the Chiefs selected him in the second round of April's draft, Gay was viewed as a potential candidate for a weak-side linebacker spot, but Kansas City has thus far been auditioning the rookie on the strong side. There's still plenty of time remaining for his outlook to change heading into Week 1, but Gay appears in line to begin his professional career in a reserve role.
