  Gay (hand) was listed as a full participant on Monday's practice estimation. Gay was able to play through his hand injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, recording four total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defending two passes.

Gay injured his hand in Week 4 against the Falcons, and he won't suit up Monday after failing to participate in practice all week. D'Marco Jackson played with the Saints' first-team defense in Week 4 in the absence of Demario Davis, and the former could slide into Gay's starting role for Monday's contest.

  Gay (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Panthers, Jeff Nowak of Audacy Sports reports. Gay logged three limited practice sessions this week, so his status for Sunday could truly come down to the wire.
