Nursing ankle sprain Gay suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's 38-21 loss to the Chargers, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gay was quickly ruled out to return to Sunday's contest upon being injury, which could bode poorly regarding the issue's severity. With the Chiefs having secured a bye to begin the playoffs, however, the rookie second-round pick will at least benefit from an additional week to recover.

Officially out Gay (leg) will not return to Sunday's game.

Impact It is confirmed that Gay will not return to Sunday's game against the Chargers as he is officially listed as out.

Questionable to return Gay left Sunday's game due to a leg injury.

Impact While the extent of issue is unclear at this time, Gay is questionable to return after getting injured at the end of the first quarter. It's unclear whether it was Gay's ankle or leg that was injured, but Darius Harris likely will take over Gay's linebacker duties if the 22-year-old is unable to return.

Rings up nine stops Gay posted nine tackles and a forced fumble in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Falcons.

Impact Gay logged season highs in tackles and defensive snaps (49), adding the first forced fumble of his career as well. The rookie second-round pick out of Mississippi State has been an inconsistent fantasy contributor this season with just 38 tackles over 15 games.

Logs first career sack Gay posted six tackles (five solo) and a sack in Sunday's 40-32 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Gay played just 15 defensive snaps through the first three weeks, but the rookie second-rounder is getting comfortable at the NFL level and is receiving more work as a result. He logged a season-high 47 percent snap share Sunday and capitalized with his first career sack. Gay's usage stands to rise even more after that performance, so he could carve out fantasy utility in the near future.

Working as backup early Gay is backup in Damien Wilson at the "SAM" position early in camp, Charles Goldman of USA Today reports.

Impact When he was selected, most believed that Gay was a perfect fit for the team's "WILL" role, also known as the weakside linebacker spot. There is still plenty of time remaining in camp for things to change, but the rookie isn't initially set to handle a starting role for the Chiefs, which could lower his fantasy outlook as a rookie.
