Hit with suspension Gay has been suspended for the next four games due to violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Gay's suspension stems from a January arrest on misdemeanor property damages, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.com. The suspension will begin immediately, while leaving the third-year-pro out of action until Week 7 against the 49ers. It's a tough blow, not only for Gay, but the Chiefs defense as well. In his absence, Darius Harris will likely step into the starting role at weakside linebacker.

Team-high 11 tackles in win Gay recorded 11 tackles (six solo), including two for loss, and added two pass defenses during Thursday's 27-24 win over the Chargers.

Impact Gay and Nick Bolton each registered double-digit tackles, but the former outpaced the latter by one and was the only Chiefs' player to recorded multiple pass deflections. Across two games, Gay has totaled 16 tackles over 109 defensive snaps and appears to have carved out a much bigger role than he had last year, when he finished with a career-high 48 tackles across 12 appearances. The 2020 second-round pick will look to maintain his strong play against the Colts in Week 3.
