Willie Gay Jr. is ‘catching on’ more than last offseason, adds he’s 100%

There’s a long list of negatives from the week of Super Bowl LV for the Kansas City Chiefs, but one storyline that got buried was rookie linebacker Willie Gay Jr.’s knee injury during practice week. It required surgery, and there hadn’t been an official update all offseason on Gay’s recovery.

That was true until Thursday when Gay spoke to media members following the team’s ninth organized team activity (OTA) practice. He was able to calm the worries of Chiefs fans but didn’t exactly set the record straight on how his injury occurred.
