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. Monday's full practice estimation indicates the first-year Saint has moved past his hand issue entirely. Expect Gay to serve as New Orleans' top strong-side linebacker in Thursday night's contest against the Broncos.

Gay (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports. 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 is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Atlanta due to a hand injury, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. Gay recorded two tackles (one solo) before injuring his hand in the first quarter of Sunday's game. Anfernee Orji should see an uptick in snaps on defense while Gay is sidelined.

Gay (back) is active Sunday against the Panthers. Gay logged limited practice sessions all week but ultimately feels well enough to suit up for Week 1's divisional matchup. The Mississippi State product should get the start at strongside linebacker for New Orleans.

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. If the 26-year-old were to miss any time, second-year pro Anfernee Orji would get a chance to step into a key role, especially with D'Marco Jackson (calf) and Jaylan Ford (hamstring) already both ruled out for Week 1.
