25 William Gay DB

Gay (hamstring) returned to practice Sunday, Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com reports.

Gay joined the Giants last week and will operate as a depth safety. He'll get some extra run while Curtis Riley (hamstring) and Darian Thompson (hamstring) are sidelined.

Gay exited the Giants practice Friday with a right hamstring injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Gay was on the sideline with his right hamstring wrapped with an ice pack. The specifics and severity of the injury for the 33-year-old are currently unclear.

Gay signed a contract with the Giants, Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media reports.

Gay played 10 of his 11 seasons in Pittsburgh, appearing in all 16 games every year of his career. His numbers took a large dip last year, with him recording just 19 tackles and three passes defensed, his worst numbers in a decade. Entering his age-33 season, he'll likely be a backup cornerback while with the Giants.

Gay is expected to be released by the Steelers on Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Gay is one of the longest tenured Steelers and was a member of the 2008 team that won Super Bowl XLIII. The 11-year vet has indicated he plans to continue playing, despite rumors of potential retirement. Gay appeared in all 16 games for Pittsburgh in 2017 but did not start any of them.
