Let go by Denver
The Broncos waived Gray (hamstring) with an injury designation Tuesday, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray is headed to waivers after suffering a hamstring injury in Sunday's win over the Texans, which was just his first outing of the campaign. The special-teams standout will look to get healthy and find a new opportunity elsewhere.

Won't return with hamstring injury
Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Texans, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray may have sustained the injury on special teams, which is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's game. The injury could impact his availability for the Broncos' Week 10 contest against the Raiders on Thursday.
Oct 13, 2025
Signed by Denver
Gray (undisclosed) was signed by the Broncos off the Ravens' practice squad Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray dealt with an undisclosed injury to open the season, but he now appears to be back to full health. The 29-year-old will operate as a depth option behind Brandon Jones at free safety with Denver.
Sep 16, 2025
Placed on practice-squad IR
The Ravens placed Gray (undisclosed) on the practice-squad injured list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Gray was a surprise cut by the Saints ahead of Week 1 and quickly signed with the Ravens' practice squad. He was a second-team All-Pro selection as a special teams player last season. Gray has yet to be elevated this season and will now miss at least the next four games.
Sep 3, 2025
Signs with Baltimore
Gray was signed to the Ravens' practice squad Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray was released by the Saints on Monday, but it didn't take long for him to find his next opportunity in Baltimore. The safety has excelled as a special-teams asset throughout his career, and it wouldn't be a major surprise to see him get elevated to the active roster in the early going this season.
Sep 1, 2025
Let go by New Orleans
The Saints released Gray (hamstring) on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Gray dealt with a hamstring issue in July, but he returned to practice in early August. However, the veteran special-teams ace has lost his spot on the roster after seven seasons with the Saints. Gray has made three All-Pro squads for his work on special teams, so it seems likely he'll find work elsewhere for an organization looking for a player with his skill set.

Nursing hamstring injury
Gray is considered week-to-week due to a hamstring injury, Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana reports.
ANALYSIS
The injury puts Gray in jeopardy of missing preseason games, starting with the Saints' opener against the Chargers on Aug. 10. Gray primarily served on special teams across 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 25 tackles (12 solo) and one forced fumble.
Oct 16, 2024
Ready to rock
Gray (calf) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Gray was able to log a limited practice session Wednesday and is now set to play through his calf injury in Thursday night's contest. The Mississippi State product is expected to serve as the Saints' top reserve safety in Week 7, playing behind both Tyrann Mathieu and Jordan Howden.
Oct 14, 2024
Picks up calf injury
Gray (calf) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
ANALYSIS
Gray played 45 total snaps (14 defensive and 31 on special teams) in Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers, recording five total tackles and one forced fumble. However, it appears the 28-year-old sustained a calf injury in the process. Gray's participation Tuesday and Wednesday will provide the best indication on whether he can suit up in Week 7, when the Saints host the Broncos.
Oct 29, 2023
Good to go for Week 8
Gray (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray missed his last two games while dealing with a hamstring injury but is good to go Sunday. He has played 76 snaps on special teams in four games played this season and will resume that role for Week 8.
Oct 18, 2023
Not playing Thursday
Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Saints' game versus the Jaguars on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gray will now miss his second straight game and third total of the season. The 27-year-old will now focus on getting healthy and look to make his return against the Colts next week.
Oct 14, 2023
Out Week 6
Gray (hamstring) will not play in the Saints' Week 6 tilt against the Texans, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
No surprise here, as Gray was a non-participant at practice all week. He left last week's victory over the Patriots early after injuring his hamstring. In his absence, the Saints will have a big void to fill on special teams.
Oct 8, 2023
Leaves game Sunday
Gray exited Sunday's game against the Patriots with a hamstring injury and is questionable to come back in, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
The Saints' special-teams leader, who landed a three-year contract in the offseason, is probably unlikely to return with New Orleans holding a big lead over New England. Gray did not record a stat before exiting.
Mar 10, 2023
Inks new three-year deal
The Saints re-signed Gray to a three-year contract worth $9.6 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal also includes $2.4 million to sign and an additional $500,000 per season in playtime, totaling out to a maximum of $11.1 million, per Rapoport. Gray has operated as New Orleans' special-teams leader since joining the team back in 2018. The 27-year-old tallied 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks across 27 defensive reps and 310 special-teams snaps played this previous campaign.
Dec 15, 2022
Returns to practice in full
Gray (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on the Saints' injury report Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Gray has been sidelined for the Saints' last three games while dealing with a lingering hamstring injury. The 26-year-old was then limited in the first practice coming off the team's Week 14 bye, but he should be ready to go again after ramping up his activity Thursday. Gray was named an All-Pro on special teams in 2021, and he should reprise his prominent role on punts and kickoffs Sunday against Atlanta.
Dec 3, 2022
Won't play at Tampa Bay
Gray (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game at the Buccaneers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray will miss his third consecutive game as he works to recover from a lingering hamstring injury. New Orleans will need to continue to try to find a way to replace his special teams production until he's healthy enough to play again.
Nov 25, 2022
Set for another absence
Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray missed New Orleans' Week 11 matchup against the Rams and failed to practice in any capacity leading up to Sunday's game against the 49ers. It's no surprise that he'll be out for the second consecutive week as a result. He's played 234 of his 258 snaps on special teams for the campaign, racking up 12 total tackles and 1.5 sacks across 10 games.
Nov 18, 2022
Won't play Week 11
Gray (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Gray will miss his first game of the season after failing to practice ahead of this Week 11 contest. The core special teamer lined up for 71 percent of the Saints' special-teams snaps during the team's loss to the Steelers last Sunday, so it's unclear when this hamstring issue first arose. Nevertheless, Gray will now look to work his way back into practice before New Orleans' next game against San Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 27.
Sep 11, 2022
Active Sunday
Gary (hamstring) is active for Sunday's season opener against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
Gary drew a questionable injury designation after being limited in practice all week, but he'll be available for the season opener. The fifth-year safety has mostly operated on special teams during his first four seasons with New Orleans.
Dec 30, 2021
Returns from COVID list
Gray (undisclosed) was removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, Amie Just of NOLA.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray missed last week's loss to Miami but should be good to go Sunday against the Panthers. His contributions have come primarily on special teams.
Dec 24, 2021
Goes on COVID-19 list
Gray (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Gray has been a regular on the Saints' special-teams unit, while playing very little on defense. His potential absence Monday against the Dolphins will certainly impact their depth in the secondary though, especially if Malcolm Jenkins isn't able to clear COVID protocols in time either.
Mar 3, 2021
Staying in New Orleans
The Saints signed Gray to a two-year, $4 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray was set to become a restricted free agent, but he'll stay put with a two-year deal containing $2 million guaranteed. The 25-year-old has been a key contributor on special teams for the Saints since 2019.
Jan 8, 2021
Ready for wild-card game
Gray (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was limited at practice to start the week due to the shoulder injury, but he was able to practice fully Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Gray played most of his snaps on special teams this season and should have a similar workload Sunday.
Oct 25, 2020
Will play Sunday
Gray (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Gray came into the game deemed questionable after turning in DNP/LP/LP throughout the week, so the fact that he's healthy enough to play is a positive sign. With Gray healthy, he's expected to handle a depth role in the secondary, with most of his snaps coming on special teams.
Oct 27, 2019
Suiting up Sunday
Gray (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against Arizona, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray was officially questionable for the game after logging just a limited practice session Friday, but as evidenced by this news, was given the all-clear for Sunday. Now that he's officially active, the Mississippi State product will be deployed as a depth safety for the contest.
Oct 25, 2019
Listed as questionable
Gray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
ANALYSIS
Gray logged a limited practice Friday after being a non-participant earlier in the week, so he seems to be trending in the right direction. Confirmation on his status will come closer to kickoff Sunday.
Oct 24, 2019
Dealing with ankle injury
Gray was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.
ANALYSIS
Gray suffered the ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Bears despite playing only three snaps on special teams. The Saints are hurting for secondary depth with P.J. Williams suspended and Patrick Robinson (hamstring) and Eli Apple (knee) also nursing injuries.
