Impact Gay looks all set to suit up against the Packers on Sunday after having sat out Week 1 while recovering from sports hernia surgery. Coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Gay is "good to go" to suit up on the road in Green Bay, per George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin, so fantasy managers should have complete confidence in the starting kicker's availability now that he's practicing without restrictions.

The Utah product was replaced by Spencer Shrader for Week 1's loss to the Texans, who has since reverted to the team's practice squad.

Could return Week 2 Head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Gay (sports hernia) will continue to be monitored throughout the week, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.
Impact Gay wasn't able to play in the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans while he recovered from the sports hernia procedure he underwent shortly after Indianapolis' preseason finale, but the veteran kicker looks like he could move past the issue soon. The Colts will monitor Gay's activity in practice this week before determining his availability for Sunday's game in Green Bay, but if he's unable to kick this weekend, Indianapolis would likely elevate Spencer Shrader from the practice squad once again. Shrader converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 29-27 loss to Houston.
