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.

49ers' Matt Gay: Elevated for Monday Night Football
San Francisco has elevated Gay from the practice squad to the active roster to start versus the Panthers on Monday,
Gay will handle placekicking duties for the 49ers on Monday Night Football with Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) ruled out and considered week-to-week. Across 10 regular-season appearances with Washington this year, Gay converted just 13 of 19 field-goal tries, but he was perfect on all 22 of his extra-point attempts. If Pineiro is forced to spend multiple games on the sideline, Gay could get an extended run in San Francisco, provided he's able to display consistency.

49ers' Matt Gay: Joins 49ers' practice squad
The 49ers signed Gay to the practice squad Wednesday.
Coach Kyle Shanahan revealed Monday that Eddy Pineiro was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain following Sunday's win at Arizona and is considered "week-to-week," per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com. The 49ers subsequently tried out five kickers between Tuesday and Wednesday before deciding to roll the dice with Gay, who was waived by the Commanders on Monday. Gay thus will be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties Monday against the Panthers if Pineiro sits out the contest.

49ers' Matt Gay: Signing with San Francisco
Gay is signing with the 49ers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
The Commanders waived Gay on Monday after he missed two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Dolphins. He made just 13 of 19 attempts for Washington this season, but he was at least perfect on PATs, and he apparently impressed the 49ers during a workout this week. With Eddy Pineiro nursing a hamstring injury, Gay may end up kicking for San Francisco this Sunday against the Panthers.

Matt Gay: Cut by Washington
The Commanders waived Gay on Monday.
Gay will head to waivers since the trade deadline has passed, but he's had a dreadful season in Washington after signing a one-year deal with the team over the offseason. Gay has converted just 13 of 19 field-goal attempts and all 22 extra-point tries. He missed a pair of field goals in the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Misses two kicks in Madrid
Gay went 2-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try during the Commanders' 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Both of Gay's misses came from 51 and 56 yards in the second and fourth quarters, respectively, but they turned out to be crucial misses in what was a close affair in Madrid, Spain. It was the second time this season that the veteran kicker missed two field goals in a game, and he is now 4-for-9 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards. Gay is now 13-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 22-for-22 on extra-point tries through 10 regular-season games.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Accounts for four points in loss
Gay made his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's loss to the Lions.
Gay's field goal came from 44 yards out, and the veteran kicker has now made 11 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 21 of his extra-point tries through nine games this season. In a down season for the Washington offense, Gay has minimal fantasy value, especially while Jayden Daniels (elbow) is injured.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Limited action in Week 9
Gay did not attempt a field goal while making both of his extra-point tries in Sunday night's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.
Gay was back in action in Week 9 after missing one contest with a back injury, going without a field-goal try for the second straight game in which he's started. The kicker has had an inconsistent campaign in terms of workload and production, and he has now gone 10-for-14 on field-goal attempts, including 4-for-7 from 50-plus yards, while making all 20 of his PATs over eight games this year.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Clear for Week 9
Gay (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Gay didn't practice last Saturday due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright filled in for Gay and connected on his only kick (a PAT), but the former reverted to the practice squad Tuesday and was promptly cut, signaling that Gay was set to return to action Week 9. After progressing from no activity Wednesday to limited Thursday and then full Friday, Gay has done just that and will resume placekicking duties for the Commanders on Sunday.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Gets back to limited Thursday
Gay (back) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Gay missed the final session of Week 8 prep due to a back injury and then was ruled out ahead of Monday's eventual loss at Kansas City. Matthew Wright stepped in for Gay and made his only kick (a PAT), but the latter's return to practice three days later is a sign of progress for the seventh-year pro. Gay's listing on Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a chance to play Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Commanders' Matt Gay: No practice Wednesday
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that Gay (back) will not practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Gay was a late scratch for Washington's loss to the Chiefs on Monday, which prompted the team to sign Matthew Wright to the practice squad and elevate him for game day. Wright did not attempt a field goal and made his only extra-point try during the loss to Kansas City, and he'll stand to be elevated again versus the Seahawks on Sunday if Gay isn't able to return to full health in time to play Week 9.

Commanders' Matt Gay: Ruled out for MNF
Gay (back) has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
Gay will miss Week 8 due to a lingering back injury, with Washington instead elevating Matthew Wright from the practice squad to handle placekicker duties. It remains to be seen whether Gay's injury could force him to miss any more time, but his next chance to take the field will come Week 9 at home against the Seahawks on Sunday, Nov. 2.
