Raiders' Matt Gay: Three PATs in win
Gay made his sole field-goal attempt and converted three PATs in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Gay made a 59-yard field goal at the end of the first half of Sunday's game to break the Raiders' 7-7 tie with the Chargers. The kicker remains perfect through two weeks, sitting at 3-for-3 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Perfect in Week 1 win
Gay converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three extra points in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Gay signed with Las Vegas in the offseason and beat out Kansei Matsuzawa for the Raiders' kicking job over the summer. He's looking for a bounce-back season after struggling in 2025 with the Commanders and 49ers, converting a career-low 73.9 percent of his field-goal tries, including just four of nine from 50-plus yards. Gay's field goals were good from 47 and 30 yards against Miami on Sunday.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Scores all points in loss
Gay converted four of five field-goal attempts in Thursday night's 18-12 preseason loss to the 49ers.
Gay made field goals from 37, 53, 45 and 48 yards while missing one from 54 yards. The veteran kicker had a strong overall showing, accounting for all 12 of the Raiders' points in the preseason finale. The 32-year-old appears ready for the mid-range challenges, but he once again may struggle from 50-plus yards, making just four of nine attempts during the 2025 season (44 percent).

Raiders' Matt Gay: Outperforms Matsuzawa in preseason win
Gay made his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards in Thursday's 22-20 preseason win over the Texans.
Gay outperformed rookie Kansei Matsuzawa in the Raiders' second preseason game, as Matsuzawa didn't attempt a field goal but converted only one of three PAT tries. Gay has been the favorite from the outset of Vegas' kicker competition thanks to the 32-year-old's edge in experience, and Thursday's results should help further tip the scales in his favor.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Early leader in competition
Gay worked as the first-team kicker at Friday's training camp practice and made all of his attempts, Sam Warren of the Athletic reports.
Gay rotated in ahead of Kansei Matsuzawa, the latter of whom had a 40-yard miss in Friday's practice but made the rest of his attempts. With 102 games of regular-season kicking experience under his belt, Gay looks like the early favorite in the competition against the undrafted rookie Matsuzawa.

Raiders' Matt Gay: In camp battle against rookie
Gay is set to compete with Kansei Matsuzawa for the Raiders' kicking role in training camp, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.
The Raiders moved on from Daniel Carlson after the 2025 season and subsequently brought in the veteran Gay and the rookie Matsuzawa. Gay converted 81 of 101 field-goal attempts over the previous three seasons, split between the Colts, 49ers and Commanders. Matsuzawa is coming off a stellar season at Hawaii, where he made 27 of 29 field-goal attempts in 2025.

Raiders' Matt Gay: Moving to Vegas
Gay is set to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Gay began last season with Washington but was cut in mid-November after going 13-for-19 on field-goal tries. He then signed with San Francisco and went a perfect 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts, but he was just holding down the fort in the absence of Eddy Pineiro and was ultimately cut upon Pineiro's return. Gay's signing likely means that Daniel Carlson, who is an unrestricted free agent, won't return to Las Vegas after eight seasons with the franchise.

Matt Gay: Cut by San Francisco
The 49ers released Gay from their practice squad Tuesday.
Gay stepped in as the 49ers' kicker for the team's last two games while Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) was sidelined and went a perfect 8-for-8 on kicks (four field goals, four extra points). The 49ers' decision to part ways with Gay signals that Pineiro is healthy coming out of the team's Week 14 bye and ready to handle kicking duties Sunday versus the Titans.

49ers' Matt Gay: Returns to practice squad
The 49ers reverted Gay to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
With Eddy Pineiro missing the past two weeks due to a hamstring injury, Gay has stepped in and gone 4-for-4 on field goals as well as 4-for-4 on PATs. San Francisco is on bye Week 14 and Pineiro is trending toward active status when the team returns to action Week 15, so Gay's tenure as the club's kicker may have come to an end.

49ers' Matt Gay: Perfect on four kicks in win
Gay converted both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in the 49ers' 26-8 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Elevated from the practice squad for the second straight week after he was cut by the Commanders following Week 11, Gay is now a perfect four-for-four on field goals and four-for-four on extra points across two games with San Francisco. It's unclear if Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) will be ready to return to kicking duties when the Niners come out of their Week 14 bye.

49ers' Matt Gay: Elevated for Week 13
The 49ers elevated Gay from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, and he will serve as the 49ers' starting kicker against the Browns on Sunday.
Gay will kick for the 49ers for a second consecutive week due to the absence of Eddy Pineiro (hamstring). Gay made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the 49ers' Week 12 win over the Panthers.

49ers' Matt Gay: Reverts to practice squad
Gay reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL transaction log.
Gay made his 49ers' debut only one week after being waived by the Commanders. He made a pair of field goals and two extra-point attempts in Monday's win over the Panthers and will presumably retain kicking duties for Week 13 against the Browns should Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) remain sidelined.

49ers' Matt Gay: Makes all four kicks in 49ers debut
Gay converted both of his field-goal tries and both of his point-after attempts in Monday's 20-9 Week 12 win over Carolina.
Gay played his first game with San Francisco after being elevated from the practice squad due to Eddy Pineiro dealing with a hamstring injury. Gay did his part to contribute to the 49ers' win, knocking in field goals from 47 and 29 yards out while making both his PATs. Pineiro is considered week-to-week, so Gay could serve as San Francisco's kicker again next Sunday in Cleveland.
