Back practicing in limited capacity
Payne (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: It's a step in the right direction towards being available to play in Week 3 after Payne sustained a minor ankle injury during Sunday's 35-33 win at Denver. He'll still probably need to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Nursing ankle injury
Payne missed practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: In Washington's first injury report of the week, the lower leg injury Payne sustained during Sunday's 35-33 win at Denver was specified as an ankle issue. He'll get two more chances to practice before the Commanders' final injury report of the week is released Friday.

Absent Wednesday
Payne (lower leg) is not practicing Wednesday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Payne briefly left Sunday's win over the Broncos due to an apparent lower leg injury, but he was able to retake the field in that contest. That could bode well for Payne's chances of suiting up Week 3 versus the Bills, but his participation in practice Thursday and Friday will need to be monitored.

Helps defense in win
Payne played 50 snaps and finished with two tackles in Washington's 20-16 win over Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: The defensive tackle who signed a four-year, $90-million contract in the offseason started alongside Jonathan Allen and helped anchor a defense that allowed only 210 total yards. In Week 2, Payne and the Commanders get a Broncos team that only finished with 260 total yards against the Raiders on Sunday.

Cashes in with massive new contract
The Commanders agreed to sign Payne to a four-year, $90 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Payne was previously tabbed with the non-exclusive franchise tag Feb. 28 after he and the Commanders were unable to come to terms on a long-term extension before the end of his career-best 2022 campaign. However, this new multi-year deal represents a significant commitment from the team, as the 25-year-old defensive tackle, who recorded a team-high 11.5 sacks in 2022, will now receive $60 million in guaranteed salary over the next four seasons. This deal also makes Payne the second-highest-paid…read more

Receives franchise tag
The Commanders placed the franchise tag on Payne on Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Payne is expected to carry an $18.94 million, one-year salary if he plays on the franchise tag for the 2023 season, though Washington did opt to use the nonexclusive tag. That allows Payne to negotiate with other teams, but he and Washington have already begun talks on a long-term option ahead of the July 17 deadline. Payne led the Commanders with a career-high 11.5 sacks while starting all 17 games in 2022.

Leads team in sacks
Payne registered 64 tackles (33 solo), 11.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in 17 games (all starts) during the 2022 season.
Analysis: Payne had the most productive season of his career, as the defensive tackle registered double-digit sacks for the first time en route to leading his team in that category. The 2018 first-round pick is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and thus is in line to receive a big payday from either the Commanders or another organization.

Continues dominance up the middle
Payne recorded five tackles (three solo), including two sacks, during Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Payne accounted for two of the Commanders' five sacks on quarterback Deshaun Watson in Week 17. The fifth-year defensive tackle leads the team in sacks this season with a career-high 11.5 and has now logged a new career high in tackles with 62 over 16 games this season. Payne could see added attention from the Cowboys' offensive line if fellow defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (knee) sits out next week's regular-season finale.

Another sack Sunday
Payne logged one sack and six tackles (four solo), including four tackles for loss, in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Payne brought down Kirk Cousins for a nine-yard loss to end Minnesota's second series Sunday, increasing his sack total to a career-high 5.5 this season. The fifth-year defensive tackle has also collected 35 tackles (16 solo) and three passes defended through nine games in 2022, and he seems set to amass the best overall production of his career so long as he remains healthy moving forward.

Back-to-back games with sack
Payne notched four tackles (two solo) and one sack during Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Payne sacked Jared Goff on a first-down play at the end of the third quarter, giving him two sacks across his first two games of the season. The 2018 first-round pick has finished with at least 50 tackles and multiple sacks in each of his first four NFL campaigns and is on track to continue that streak in 2022.

Participating in team drills
Payne participated in Tuesday's team drills after skipping them during voluntary OTAs, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Payne walked off the field during OTAs in late May due to his ongoing contract situation, but he's fully participating during mandatory minicamp. The 2018 first-round pick finished last season with 61 tackles, 4.5 sacks and a fumble recovery across 17 appearances, but the Commanders aren't expected to offer the 24-year-old a contract extension this offseason.

Walks off field during OTAs
Payne walked off the field during Tuesday's OTAs due to his ongoing contract situation, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Payne took part in individual drills to begin Tuesday's session, but he skipped team drills due to his anger over a lack of a contract extension. The Commanders aren't expected to offer the 24-year-old an extension this offseason, so it's not yet clear whether Payne will return to the field as OTAs continue. He appeared in all 17 games last year and totaled 61 tackles (35 solo), 4.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.

Finishes with 61 tackles, 4.5 sacks
Payne started all 17 games for Washington in 2021, recurring a career-high 61 tackles and 4.5 sacks.
Analysis: If not for the addition of a 17th game, Payne would've finished in the range of 54-56 tackles for a fourth time in four pro seasons. He's also landed between 2.0 and 5.0 sacks each year, though in 2021 he nearly doubled his previous career high with 15 QB hits, displaying pass-rushing potential beyond the sack numbers. The 2018 first-round pick is signed through 2022 via the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, setting him up for a $8.53 million salary next season if he doesn't sign an…read more

First sack of 2021
Payne had three solo tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery during Washington's loss to the Saints in Week 5.
Analysis: Payne was limited by a toe injury heading into Week 5, but that didn't stop him from notching his first sack of the season. He will need to log another strong performance Week 6, when the Football Team takes on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Active for Week 5
Payne (toe) is active for Sunday's contest against the Saints.
Analysis: As expected, Payne will be active for Week 5 after being added to the injury report Friday. The 24-year-old has played the most snaps (219) of any Washington defensive lineman this season, so his availability will be key in slowing down Alvin Kamara and the Saints on Sunday.

Expected to play Sunday
Payne (toe) is expected to play Sunday against the Saints, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Payne was added to the injury report Friday, but he is on track to suit up in Week 5. The 24-year-old has played the most snaps (219) of any Washington defensive linemen this season, so his availability will be key in slowing down Alvin Kamara and New Orleans' run game.

Toe injury flares up
Payne (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Payne was a late addition to the injury report, as coach Ron Rivera said the defensive tackle "had an issue with his toe flare up." Rivera added that Payne will get treatment on the injury Friday afternoon, and the team should have a better idea of his availability by Saturday morning. Washington has the interior defensive line depth to overcome a possible Payne absence, with Tim Settle and Matthew Ioannidis available in reserve roles behind Payne and Jonathan Allen.

Placed on COVID-19 list
Payne was placed on the COVID-19 list Sunday, Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Washington placed several players on the COVID-19 list Thursday, and Payne will now be away from the team. However, the defensive tackle announced Sunday on his personal Twitter feed that he hasn't tested positive for COVID-19. It's not yet clear when Payne could return to the field.

Receives fifth-year option
Washington exercised Payne's fifth-year option for 2022 on Monday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: The 23-year-old has appeared in all but one game with 41 starts since being drafted by Washington in 2018, so it's hardly a surprise the team picked up the fifth-year option of his rookie deal. Payne totaled 54 tackles (27 solo), three sacks, three forced fumbles and one interception in 16 contests last season and should continue to play heavy snaps at defensive tackle in 2021.

Starts 16 games
Payne was a 16-game starter in 2020, recording 54 tackles (27 solo), four pass defenses, three sacks, three forced fumbles, an interception and a fumble recovery on a career-high 880 defensive snaps (84.3 percent).
Analysis: Payne's involvement in a bunch of turnovers was a new development, but his stats otherwise looked similar to the prior two seasons. The 2018 first-round pick even then added two sacks in Washington's lone playoff game, finishing with PFF's No. 38 grade out of 128 qualified interior defenders. While he may not be the superstar some envisioned a few years ago, Payne is locked in as a reliable starter and should be back to handle the same role in 2021. Washington can pick up a fifth-year option…read more

Registers five stops
Payne made five tackles -- one for a loss -- in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Payne continues to log massive playing time, as he played 45 of 48 defensive snaps (94 percent). The 2018 first-round pick has posted at least four tackles in four consecutive games, but he hasn't taken down the quarterback since Week 1. It'll be tough to depend on him in IDP circles unless he can turn around the sack numbers.

Posts two sacks in 2019
Payne recorded 56 tackles (32 solo), two sacks and two defended passes across 15 contests in 2019.
Analysis: Payne performed admirably as Washington's starting nose tackle in 2019, though he did miss one contest due to an ankle injury. The 2018 first-round pick will enter the third year of his rookie contract in 2020.

Good to go Week 13

Analysis: Payne is set to retake the field after missing Week 12's win over the Lions due to an ankle issue. He'll draw his usual start at nose tackle in Carolina on Sunday.

Questionable for Sunday
Payne (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Analysis: Payne missed last Sunday's win over the Lions and worked as a limited practice participant this week. The 22-year-old should return to his starting role if able to play.

Limited to start week
Payne (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Payne didn't practice in any capacity last week, so Wednesday's limited session represents a tangible step in the right direction. He'll have two more opportunities to up his level of activity ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Panthers.

Inactive as expected
Payne (ankle) won't play in Sunday's contest against Detroit.
Analysis: Payne didn't practice at all during the week and came into the game with a doubtful tag, so this news isn't surprising. In his stead, Tim Settle and Treyvon Hester are expected to handle the depth snaps along the defensive line.

Unlikely to play Sunday

Watches practice from sidelines
Payne (ankle) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Payne was spotted with a walking boot Monday, and his inability to practice to start the week casts doubt onto his status for Sunday's game against the Lions. The 2018 first-rounder still has two practices to get back onto the field and stymie some of the worries.

Wearing walking boot
Payne (ankle) was spotted with his right foot in a walking boot Monday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Payne exited Sunday's loss to the Jets due to an ankle injury, the severity of which remains undisclosed. While the 2018 first-round pick could be wearing a boot for preventative reasons, his participation in practice will be worth monitoring leading up to Week 12's game against the Lions. With backup Tim Settle nursing a hamstring injury, Treyvon Hester could be forced to fill in for Payne if he were to miss any time.

Departs with ankle issue
Payne was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Analysis: Payne registered five tackles and a pass breakup before leaving this contest. The 2018 first-round pick consistently plays around 80 percent of the defensive snaps, so his absence is a major hit to the Redskins' defensive front. Treyvon Hester may bump to the interior in Payne's place, as the team only has three healthy defensive linemen.
