KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay will play in Sunday's AFC divisional-round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, coach Andy Reid said.
Gay pleaded not guilty on Thursday in Johnson County, Kansas, District Court to a misdemeanor charge of criminal property damage of less than $1,000. He had been arrested Wednesday night in Overland Park, Kansas, and spent the night in county jail.
Gay returned to practice Friday after an absence on Thursday. Reid did not specify his reasons for allowing Gay to play against the Bills.
