Gay (hernia) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans.
Gay has been in recovery mode since undergoing surgery on a sports hernia following Indianapolis' last preseason game Aug. 22. He didn't practice at all this week, but the team still is giving him a chance to serve as its placekicker Sunday. Head coach Shane Steichen told JJ Stankewitz of the Colts' official site Friday that Spencer Shrader will be called up from the practice squad to handle kicking duties this weekend if Gay is deemed inactive 90 minutes before a 1 p.m. ET kickoff.
