Overview
- Gay was cut one day after missing 51- and 56-yard attempts in Madrid during a 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins, with the 56-yarder potentially winning the game.
- Head coach Dan Quinn said the decision was performance-based after sustained issues, noting he and GM Adam Peters informed Gay on Monday.
- Gay went 13-for-19 on field goals this season (68.4%) and 4-for-9 from 50-plus yards, while making all 22 extra points.
- Washington is adding Jake Moody from Chicago's practice squad; the 2023 third-round pick hit 8 of 9 field goals in two games for the Bears, including a game-winner against Washington.
- Gay will go on waivers, and Washington will use its open week to integrate Moody before hosting Denver on Nov. 30.
