The Kansas City Chiefs activated LB Willie Gay following his suspension and elevated CB Dicaprio Bootle and WR Marcus Kemp.

Gay, 24, is a former second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Drat. He agreed to a four-year, $5,271,046 contract with Kansas City and is set to earn a base salary of $849,593 this season and $1.08 million in 2022. 

He suffered a torn meniscus in the AFC Championship game and finished the playoffs on the injured reserve. He returned from the reserve list in October. 

Gay was suspended four games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

In 2022, Gay has appeared in two games for the Chiefs and recorded 16 tackles and two pass deflections.
