The Commanders have released kicker Matt Gay, the team announced on Monday. The roster move comes after Gay missed two field-goal attempts in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Dolphins.
Gay's time with Washington comes to a bitter end as the veteran kicker has made just 13 of 19 field goals this season (68.4%). Gay, who previously spent short stints on the Bucs, Rams and Colts, joined the Commanders ahead of the 2025 campaign but missed a few games due to injury and has arguably disappointed so far this season.
