Colts' Matt Gay: Could return Week 2
Head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Matt Gay (sports hernia) will continue to be monitored throughout the week, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.Gay wasn't able to play in the Indianapolis Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans while he recovered from the sports hernia procedure he underwent shortly after Indianapolis' preseason finale, but the veteran kicker looks like he could move past the issue soon.

Shrader converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-27 loss to Houston.
