  • Disastrous finish to season

    Gay missed all three of his field-goal attempts (49, 44 and 34 yards) and made both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers 28-22 overtime loss to the Falcons on Sunday. He finished the 2019 season with a 77.1 percent success rate on field goals (27-for-35) and a 43-for-48 tally on extra points.

    Analysis: Gay's final numbers were sullied by his clunker of a regular-season finale, but the rookie was otherwise very impressive during his first pro season. Gay's misfires were spread evenly across distance, as he missed two attempts from 30 to 39 yards, another three from 40 to 49 yards, and three more from 50 yards and beyond. The 2019 fifth-round pick will look to sharpen his technique over the offseason, but barring a complete training camp/preseason meltdown next summer, he should be the…read more

  • Fully practices Thursday

    Gay (back) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Gay is feeling better and will be able to handle his kicking duties to close out the season Week 17 against the Falcons. He's made 27 of his 32 field-goal tries this season, with three of the misses coming from beyond 50 yards.

  • Limited participant

    Gay (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's projected practice report.

    Analysis: Gay was banged up on a field-goal attempt that was blocked in the team's Week 16 loss to the Texans. However, he remained in the game and later made a 50-yard field goal, giving some indication that the injury was minor. That he was projected to be a limited participant Wednesday is a positive sign for his availability in the team's Week 17 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Eventful day in Week 16 loss

    Gay converted field-goal attempts of 50 and 41 yards, had a 54-yard attempt blocked, and converted two extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

    Analysis: Gay was banged up on the first-quarter block, but his ability to drill a 50-yarder later in the period corroborated his health. The rookie heads into the regular-season finale against the Falcons with a solid 84.4 percent success rate on 32 field-goal attempts and 122 points overall, making him one of the best fantasy assets at the position on the season.

  • Gets back in game

    Gay (undisclosed) has returned to action in Saturday's game against the Texans.

    Analysis: After getting banged up on a blocked kick return, Gay came back in and converted a 50-yard field-goal attempt. He appears no worse for wear and should be good to go for the remainder of Saturday's tilt.

  • Hurt after blocked field goal

    Gay was injured during a blocked field goal return Saturday against the Texans, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Bradley Pinion was spotted kicking into the practice net on the Tampa Bay sidelines after Gay was dinged up at the end of a blocked field-goal return. It's unclear if he'll be able to return to action Saturday.

  • Cleared for Week 16

    Gay (groin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice and won't carry a designation into Saturday's game against the Texans, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gay was limited for the Buccaneers' first two practices of Week 16 while battling a right groin injury. Since Tampa Bay didn't work out any other kickers, there was never much concern about the rookie's status, and his ability to put in a full workout to close the week supports that notion.

  • Continues limited work

    Gay (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: The Buccaneers have yet to work out or sign another kicker, so they appear confident Gay will be ready in time for Saturday's matchup against the Texans. Gay has been quite effective this year, connecting on 25 of 29 field goals (86 percent), including 14 of 17 tries from beyond 40 yards.

  • Dealing with groin issue

    Gay was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a right groin injury, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gay racked up eight points on a field goal and five extra points in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions over the weekend, but a misfire from 54 yards out ended a streak of 15 converted kicks in a row. The rookie appears to have ironed out his early-season accuracy issues, but he now has a health-related complication to contend with heading into Saturday's game against the Texans. The Buccaneers haven't yet worked out any other kickers, signaling that the team isn't yet concerned about his…read more

  • Six successful kicks in win

    Gay drilled a 46-yard field goal and clanked a 54-yard attempt off the left upright while also making all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-17 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was another busy day for Gay, as the Buccaneers racked up their second consecutive 38-point tally. Gay did see a streak of 15 straight successful kicks come to an end with the long misfire, but he continues to profile as an elite asset heading into fantasy title games in Week 16, with the possibility of an uptick in field-goal opportunities if Tampa is missing both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin due to hamstring injuries.

  • Extends kicking streak in win

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 44 yards and made all five of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 38-35 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie has now drilled all 10 kick attempts (three field goals, seven extra points) over his last two games. Gay continues to serve as an elite fantasy asset due to his connection to the Buccaneers' prolific offense, and he'll be set up for potential success once again in a Week 15 matchup versus the vulnerable Lions defense.

  • Perfect on four kicks

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 25 and 37 yards and made both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 28-11 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay bounced back from having missed three extra-point attempts versus the Falcons in a Week 12 win, putting together his third perfect performance over the last four games. A couple of typical rookie hiccups aside, Gay has converted an impressive 88.5 percent of 26 field-goal attempts on the campaign, including four of five tries from 50 yards or longer. The rookie will look to keep his strong numbers up against the Colts in Week 14.

  • Scuffles on extra points in win

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 32 yards but made only two of five extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 35-22 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay unexpectedly found extra-point tries to be a significant challenge Sunday, missing more attempts (three) than he had all season (two). The rookie did up his field-goal accuracy to 87.5 percent with his 1-for-1 showing in that department Sunday, and despite the unexpected hiccups, he remains a highly appealing fantasy option in Week 13 versus the Jaguars.

  • Impresses with few opportunities

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 55 yards and also was good on both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie got another opportunity to show off the booming leg that caught the team's eye coming out of college, with Gay drilling his third kick of more than 50 yards in four tries this season. The Buccaneers' offense typically provides Gay with more scoring chances than he saw Sunday, but even in a game where he sees a downturn in opportunity, he can still reward fantasy managers. Gay will hope to square up on multiple field-goal attempts in a Week 12 matchup against the Falcons.

  • Perfect, with an asterisk

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 30, 45 and 41 yards and all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-27 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay would have been 2-for-3 if not for the Cardinals being called offsides on his 46-yard misfire wide left early in the fourth quarter. Gay attempted the kick again five yards closer and drilled it to snap 20-20 tie at the time. The rookie now has 12 successful kicks in 13 tries over the last two games, as the Buccaneers' aggressive offense continues to afford him no shortage of scoring opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's production, Gay has an 86.4 percent success rate on field goals and has…read more

  • Hits six of seven kicks in loss

    Gay made field-goal attempts of 41 and 45 yards, missed a 50-yard try wide left and drilled all four extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 40-34 overtime loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie's one miss came at the end of the first half and served as his first from 50 yards and greater this season. Gay has been an excellent source of fantasy production overall, as the combination of Bruce Arians' aggressive offensive scheme and Jameis Winston's tendency to stall drives on occasion have led to an abundance of kicking opportunities. Factoring in Sunday's miss, Gay still sports a solid 84.2 percent success rate on field goals and has also been true on 20 of 22 point-after…read more

  • Makes three field goals

    Gay went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts in Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Gay converted kicks from 22, 24 and 48 yards but lost out on a pair of extra points as the Buccaneers went for the two-point conversion on both touchdowns. It was the first time since Week 4 that the 25-year-old attempted multiple field goals in a game. Gay is 14-for-16 on field goals and 16-for-18 on PATs through the first seven games of the season.

  • Nails another long field goal

    Gay drilled his only field-goal attempt from 54 yards out and also converted his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 37-26 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay continued to demonstrate his penchant for shrugging off the supposed difficulty of long-distance kicks, blasting a 54-yarder through the uprights in the latter portion of the third quarter. The rookie is a perfect 3-for-3 on attempts of over 50 yards through his first six games and now sports an 84.6 percent success rate (11-for-13) on field goals overall.

  • Perfect on four kicks

    Gay made his only field-goal attempt from 42 yards out and also drilled all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-24 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay put together his second consecutive flawless performance, certainly encouraging after he'd missed a game-winning attempt in Week 3 against the Giants. The rookie continues to benefit from the Buccaneers' solid offense, which is just inconsistent enough to afford him a nice complement of field-goal opportunities alongside his point-after tries. Gay will look to make it three straight perfect efforts when the Buccaneers travel to London to face the division-rival Panthers in Week 6.

  • Bounces back with perfect day

    Gay converted field-goal attempts of 58 and 21 yards and also made all seven extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 55-40 win over the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie enjoyed an unblemished day after having missed the game-winning attempt in a Week 3 loss to the Giants. Gay's ability to bounce back from the first game-ending misfire of his career certainly had to be heartening for both the coaching staff and his fantasy managers, as his herculean leg and spot on a team with a clearly improving offense combine to make him a high-upside fantasy asset. He'll look to build on Sunday's fruitful effort on the road against the Saints in Week 5, his first…read more

  • Still starting kicker in Tampa

    Coach Bruce Arians said Gay will retain his starting kicker job, Abbey Radeka of Florida Football Insiders reports.

    Analysis: Gay's job came into question following this past Sunday's 32-31 loss to the Giants. He was called upon often, converting on field goals from 47, 27, 52 and 23 yards, but he missed two extra points and a 34-yard field-goal that would have won the game. The Buccaneers might not have been in that position if Gay hit those extra points, and the missed would-be game-winning field goal added insult to injury. Arians is sticking by his kicker, however, but another performance like this will surely…read more

  • Falters at critical time

    Gay connected on field-goal attempts of 47, 27, 52 and 23 yards in the Buccaneers' 32-31 loss to the Giants on Sunday. He missed one extra point and had another blocked while also misfiring wide right on a would-be game-winning 34-yard field-goal try.

    Analysis: Gay ran into trouble in some odd occasions Sunday, and his final hiccup cost the Buccaneers the game. After head coach Bruce Arians purposely taking a delay of game penalty before Gay's final try in order to give the rookie kicker what he felt was a more comfortable attempt, Gay promptly hooked the ball slightly to the right of the right goalpost to send the Giants home one-point winners. The Utah product's performance was a microcosm of his upside and weaknesses, as Gay also showed off his…read more

  • Has trouble from right hash

    Gay connected on field goals of 40 and 32 yards while missing a 42-yard try wide right in the Buccaneers' 20-14 win over the Panthers on Thursday. He also made both of his extra-point attempts.

    Analysis: Gay was largely reliable once again, but the troubles he'd occasionally experienced in training camp and preseason on kicks from the right hash surfaced once more on his third-quarter miss. Nevertheless, the rookie ultimately came through with his successful 32-yard attempt at the 2:26 mark of the fourth quarter, a critical make that extended the Buccaneers' lead to six points. Gay will take a 75.0 percent success rate on field goals and perfect 4-for-4 tally on extra points into a Week 3…read more

  • Perfect on three kicks

    Gay made his only field-goal attempt, a 31-yarder, and also connected on two extra points in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Gay was a bright spot on a fairly dismal afternoon for the Buccaneers, as he demonstrated the same accuracy that won him the starting job over Cairo Santos this preseason. The rookie should be in for plenty of scoring opportunities through the course of the season, as the combination of coach Bruce Arians' aggressive playcalling and Jameis Winston's propensity for sometimes short-circuiting drives with inaccurate passes could lead to an ample bounty of field-goal tries.

  • Roster spot made official

    Gay officially won the Buccaneers' placekicking job with the release of Cairo Santos on Saturday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: There wasn't much suspense surrounding Gay's job security, but any remote chance of the Buccaneers potentially keeping both kickers to open the season was eliminated Saturday. Gay was able to demonstrate the same powerful leg he'd flashed in his college career at Utah during the preseason with a pair of makes of beyond 50 yards and a 5-for-6 tally on field goals overall. The rookie will be set up for success if he can manage to generate a similar caliber of performance in the regular season, as…read more

  • Appears to have sealed kicking job

    Gay made his only field-goal attempt, a 53-yarder, and also drilled his one extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 17-15 preseason win over the Cowboys on Thursday.

    Analysis: The fact veteran Cairo Santos was passed up for the long field-goal attempt speaks loudly in and of itself, as it seems to send the message coach Bruce Arians perhaps needed just one more long make from Gay to help him finalize his decision on the winner of the job battle. It's very difficult to imagine the Buccaneers leaving Gay's name off the final roster at this point, as he's proven that the long-distance prowess he flashed in college was no fluke this preseason. It may not be official yet,…read more

  • Makes up for first miss

    Gay missed a 37-yard field-goal attempt but drilled a game-winning 21-yard try in the Buccaneers' 13-12 preseason win over the Browns on Friday. He also made his only extra-point attempt.

    Analysis: The rookie got his first taste of in-game adversity at the NFL level when his 37-yard attempt at the end of an 11-play, 59-yard drive in the first quarter bounced off the right upright. However, Gay atoned for the hiccup by converting his short but clutch game-winning attempt with 15 seconds remaining. While veteran Cairo Santos once again was true on his sole attempt (23 yards) Friday, coach Bruce Arians has now afforded Gay both game-ending kicking scenarios this preseason, a telling sign…read more

  • Drills game-winning kick

    Gay drilled field-goal attempts of 32 and 48 yards as well as his lone extra-point attempt in the Buccaneers' 16-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday.

    Analysis: The rookie appears to be well on his way to usurping incumbent Cairo Santos for the placekicking job, with Friday's 48-yard game-winning boot potentially having cemented his case. Gay has been every bit as good as advertised in both practices and through a pair of exhibitions, and while Santos has also been solid, the fact Gay will be cheaper and also cost the Bucs some draft capital could finish tipping the scales in his favor.

  • Nails 55-yard field goal in opener

    Gay made his one field-goal attempt, a 55-yarder, in the Buccaneers' 30-28 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday.

    Analysis: Gay's one kicking opportunity Friday allowed him to flash the one aspect of his skill set that likely most endeared him to the Buccaneers, namely, his accuracy on long-distance kicks. The rookie has been impressive overall from various distances in training camp, but his ability to nail an attempt of that length in a game situation had to be particularly gratifying. Veteran Cairo Santos has also been solid and made his one kick attempt, an extra-point try, Friday, so the heated competition will…read more

    Gay was 10-for-10 on field goals during his first featured camp practice Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith reports the rookie fifth-round pick absolutely drilled his longest attempt, a 57-yard laser that would have been good from an even greater distance. The pressure, by training camp standards, was on Gay during his first chance in the summer spotlight, as veteran incumbent Cairo Santos had put together an 8-for-9 effort Friday and would go on to post a perfect showing Sunday. The long-distance success is nothing new for Gay, who finished his college career at Utah with an 8-for-11 tally on…read more

    Gay made a strong impression during OTAs and minicamp with his leg strength, Carmen Vital of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick will battle incumbent Cairo Santos for the starting placekicking job, and if the offseason is any indication, training camp and the preseason should include a spirited competition. Vitali notes that Gay has impressed with a combination of leg strength and accuracy, which is unsurprising given his unblemished college track record on extra points, an 86.2 percent success rate on field goals in two seasons at Utah, and his 8-for-11 tally on kicks of 50-plus yards during…read more
