News

  • Paces team in sacks in 2024

    Paye registered 41 tackles, including 8.0 sacks, while logging a defensed pass and a forced fumble over 15 contests during the regular season.

    Analysis: Paye put up similar numbers as in 2023, logging 0.5 less sacks and 11 fewer tackles in one less game. His 8.0 sacks led Indianapolis and ranked as the second-highest mark of his four-year career. The Colts exercised Paye's fifth-year team option for 2025, so he's slated to be a key part of the team's defensive line again next year.

  • Logs another sack in win

    Paye recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Paye has now accumulated 7.0 sacks through 13 appearances for the Colts this season, just 1.5 shy of his career-best of 8.5. The 2021 first-round pick from Michigan leads Indianapolis in both sacks and tackles for loss (eight). He's expected to remain one of the Colts' top edge rushers in the Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

  • Records pair of sacks in win

    Paye finished with seven tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The defensive end also played on 71 percent of the defensive snaps. Paye now has 27 tackles (21 solo), including 5.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in 2024.

  • Active Sunday night

    Paye (hamstring) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Vikings.

    Analysis: The defensive end popped up on the injury report Thursday, put in limited practice sessions Thursday and Friday, and was listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Paye has 15 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, in six games this season.

  • Questionable for Week 9

    Paye (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.

    Analysis: Paye popped up as a limited participant at practice Thursday with a hamstring injury, remaining limited for Friday's session as well. The defensive lineman's status is now up in the air for Week 9, and if he can't go against Minnesota, Laiatu Latu will likely draw the start in his place.

  • Past quadriceps issue

    Paye (quadriceps) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

    Analysis: Paye had missed the Colts' last two games with a quadriceps injury, but Friday's full practice suggests that the Michigan product has moved past the issue. Expect Paye to start opposite Dayo Odeyingbo as part of Indianapolis' top pass-rushing duo in Week 6.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Paye (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Paye was unable to practice both Wednesday and Thursday after missing Indianapolis' Week 4 win over the Steelers due to a quadriceps injury, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up for Sunday's contest. Expect 2024 first-round pick Laiatu Latu to see additional snaps with the Colts' first-team defense in Paye's stead.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Paye (quadriceps) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick didn't play in the Colts' Week 4 win over the Steelers due to a quadriceps injury sustained the week prior, and following Wednesday's DNP, it appears he's in jeopardy of missing even more time. Paye will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 5, as the Colts travel to Jacksonville.

  • Won't face Pittsburgh

    Paye (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Paye was injured in last week's win over the Bears and will now miss the Week 4 date with Pittsburgh. The 2021 first-round pick has logged a team-best 88 pass-rushing snaps off the edge this season, resulting in 12 tackles (nine solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four QB hits. Tyquan Lewis, Dayo Odeyingbo and Laiatu Latu should be the main beneficiaries for playing time in Paye's absence.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Paye (quadriceps) is not practicing Wednesday.

    Analysis: Paye was forced out of the Colts' win over the Bears in Week 3 due to a quad injury, though he played a season-high 76 percent of defensive snaps before exiting. The starting defensive end will have two more opportunities to get back on the practice field ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Suffes injuy during game

    Paye injured his quadriceps during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Bears, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Paye told Erickson he would get scans, presumably an MRI, after the game. It's not clear if this is related to the hamstring injury he was dealing with previously. More clarity on his status moving forward should come later in the week ahead of next Sunday's game against the Steelers.

  • Set to play Sunday

    Paye (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

    Analysis: Despite missing the Colts' first two practices during the week, Paye will suit up for game action in Week 2. He projects to continue to play a near every-down role on the edge across from Tyquan Lewis.

    Published: Sun, Sep 15 at 9:08am by Rotowire.com

  • Could play Sunday

    Paye (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick upgraded to limited work Friday after logging two DNPs to start Indianapolis' week of practice, and he's now got a chance to play Sunday. If Paye is unable to suit up in Week 2, expect 2024 first-round pick Laiatu Latu to see more work on the Colts' first-team defense.

  • Sidelined at practice Thursday

    Paye (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Paye has missed back-to-back practices due to a hamstring injury sustained Week 1. In order to suit up Sunday on the road against Green Bay, it seems like Paye will need to at least upgrade to a limited practice session Friday. Laiatu Latu figures to step into an expanded role on defense if Paye misses any time.

  • Misses Wednesday's practice

    Paye (hamstring) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Paye logged 1.0 sack during the Colts' Week 1 loss, but he now appears to be dealing with a hamstring issue that could put his Week 2 status in jeopardy. If the 2021 first-round pick misses more practices throughout the week, expect Laiatu Latu to see increased work with the Colts' first-team defense.

  • Gets fifth year

    Paye had the fifth-year option on his contract exercised Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Paye had a successful third NFL season in 2023, recording career highs across the board, with 52 combined tackles, including 8.5 sacks. He also forced and recovered two fumbles. The Michigan product should now remain an integral part of the Colts' pass rush for the next two seasons.

  • Tallies 8.5 sacks in 2023

    Paye notched 52 tackles (31 solo), 8.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season appearances in 2023.

    Analysis: Paye solidified himself as one of the Colts' more exceptional defensive players in 2023, setting a new career-best sack threshold. The 2021 first-round pick could be a candidate to reach double-digit sacks with another year in defensive coordinator Gus Bradley's scheme, as Indianapolis' defense as a whole ranked fifth in the NFL with 51 sacks in 2023.

  • Notches sack in loss

    Paye recorded two tackles (two solo), including a sack, in the Colts' 29-10 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Paye had a solid outing despite the loss, as he recorded the team's only sack of Taylor Heinicke. In 14 games played this season, the 2021 first-round pick has compiled 47 tackles (29 solo), including 8.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles, all which serve as new career highs for Paye.

  • Two sacks in win

    Paye had two sacks and six total tackles in Sunday's overtime win at Tennessee.

    Analysis: Paye now has a career high 7.5 sacks and 39 total tackles. He played on 53 of the defense's 85 snaps.

  • Logs sack in win

    Paye logged two tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Indianapolis' 27-20 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Paye was dealing with a hamstring injury last week but was able to play through it and log another sack. The 2021 first-round pick now has 5.5 sacks on the season and needs just one more to break his career high set last year.

    Published: Mon, Nov 27 at 6:21pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Good to go for Week 12

    Paye is not on the Colts' injury report ahead of Sunday's Week 12 game versus Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Paye left the Week 10 win over the Patriots early due to a hamstring injury, but he appears to have recovered from the issue during Indianapolis' Week 11 bye. The defensive end thus appears set to suit up and start against the Buccaneers this Sunday. Paye has tallied 31 tackles (19 solo), including 4.5 sacks, over nine contests so far this season.

  • Exits Sunday's game

    Paye (hamstring) was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a hamstring injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Paye headed into Week 10 action with 28 tackles and 3.5 sacks in eight games. Fellow DE Tyquan Lewis also exited Sunday's contest due to a calf injury but subsequently returned to the field.

  • Will suit up at Jacksonville

    Paye (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Paye was a full participant at practice all week, so it's no big surprise that he's ready to return from the concussion he sustained in Week 4 versus the Rams. He'll probably start on Indianapolis' defensive line Sunday.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Logs full practice Wednesday

    Paye (concussion) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: His full availability for practice would suggest he's on track to play Sunday, but there may still be outstanding steps for Paye to get through the league's concussion protocol. He sustained the concussion in Week 4, and he already had to sit out in Week 5.

    Published: Wed, Oct 11 at 1:24pm by Rotowire.com

  • Will sit out vs. Titans

    Paye (concussion) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus Tennessee, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Paye was unable to clear the league's concussion protocols this week after sustaining a blow to the head in Week 4 versus the Rams, so he'll spend Sunday on the sidelines as he continues to recover. Tyquan Lewis (knee) will probably be in line for extra work if he plays. Otherwise, Jake Martin could see an uptick in snaps in Week 5.

  • Enters protocols

    Paye entered the league's concussion protocols after suffering a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Rams, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Paye will now need to clear the league's five-step protocol to play in Week 5 against the Titans. If Paye is unable to suit up, Dayo Odeyingbo and Tyquan Lewis will be the most likely candidates to see extra snaps when the team hosts Tennessee.

  • Gets third sack

    Paye had three tackles, including a tackle for a loss, in Sunday's overtime win at Baltimore.

    Analysis: Paye has a sack in each of his first three games of the season. He played 49 of the defense's 72 snaps. Paye looks to be building off last year's solid season, which saw him record six sacks in 12 games.

  • Gets sack in season opener

    Paye had four tackles, including a sack and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Paye started at defensive end and had a productive game rushing the passer while playing on 46 of the defense's 70 snaps. Paye improved last season with six sacks in 12 games and could be ready to take a leap as a pass rusher.

  • Collects sack in loss

    Paye recorded five tackles and one sack during Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: In Paye's second contest back from a two-game absence due to an ankle injury, he logged a sack for the second straight week, making it the fourth in the last six matchups for which he's suited up. The 261-pounder is expected to retain a prominent role on Indianapolis' defensive line when the team hosts the Chargers next Monday night.

  • Nine tackles in return

    Paye logged nine tackles (six solo), including one sack, during Sunday's 54-19 defeat versus the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Paye logged a season high in tackles while making his return from a two-game hiatus with an ankle injury. The 2021 first-round pick also logged his fifth sack of the season, and he's been a relatively effective pass rusher when healthy this season. While Paye did not appear to be limited by this lingering ankle issue, playing his usual share of the Colts' defensive snaps despite the blowout nature of this loss, he'll have an extra week to heal up while the team is on bye Week 14.

  • Full go Thursday

    Paye (ankle) was listed as a full participant on the Colts' injury report Thursday.

    Analysis: Paye sustained a high-ankle sprain during Week 5's overtime win against Denver and was sidelined for the Colts' following three games. The 24-year-old was then able to return Week 9 versus New England, but he appeared to aggravate this issue in the next game versus Las Vegas and has missed the Colts' last two games as a result. Paye has now been deemed a full participant for the second day in a row Thursday, so he should be set to reprise a starting role against the Cowboys on Sunday.

  • Remains out Week 12

    Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Paye will miss his second game in a row after being forced out with an ankle injury during the Colts' Week 10 win over the Raiders. The second-year defensive end was also sidelined for three straight games with an ankle issue earlier this season, though he has recorded 24 tackles and four sacks over seven contests in 2022. With the availability of starting defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (back) also up in the air, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo could both stand to see increased usage versus…read more

  • Ruled out for Week 11

    Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Paye departed last Sunday's win over the Raiders with an ankle injury and ultimately failed to return. He's since been unable to practice in any capacity heading into the Week 11 matchup versus Philadelphia, so Dayo Odeyingbo and Yannick Ngakoue are now in line to serve as the Colts' top defensive ends Sunday.

  • Forced out Sunday

    Paye (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Raiders, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Paye did not practice Friday and was considered questionable with an ankle injury heading into Sunday's game, though it's unclear if he aggravated this existing issue during the contest. The second-year defensive end did not log a defensive statistic before exiting, and his absence should leave Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo to see increased usage in the second half. Paye's next chance to play will come against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 20.

  • Ready to go Sunday

    Paye (ankle) is active Sunday against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Paye was non-participant in practice Friday, but he'll suit up Sunday in Las Vegas. The second-year pro's availability is good news for Colts' pass rush.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Paye (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Paye fully participated in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was unable to take the field Friday due to an ankle injury. If he's unavailable in Week 10, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo will likely see increased playing time.

  • Notches sack in return

    Paye recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Paye played 46 defensive snaps and finished as the Colts' leading tackler after sitting out the last three weeks with a high-ankle sprain. The second-year pass rusher also logged his fourth sack of the season as he brought down quarterback Mac Jones for a six-yard loss in the first quarter. Paye has now collected 24 stops (19 solo) across six games played in 2022, and he should easily set career highs in tackles and sacks so long as he stays healthy over the back half of the season.

  • Back in full Thursday

    Paye (ankle) practiced fully Thursday.

    Analysis: Since he suffered a high-ankle sprain back in Week 5 versus Denver, Paye hasn't been able to suit up in any of the Colts' previous three games as a result. However, the 23-year-old logged a limited practice Wednesday followed by a full session Thursday, suggesting he's on track to make his return Sunday in New England. If Paye is indeed cleared for game action this weekend, both Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo could see reduced roles while Indianapolis' defensive front remains healthy.

    Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Commanders, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for the Colts' Week 7 contest versus the Titans, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Paye went down with a high-ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Broncos, and he will now miss his second contest in a row Sunday. The defensive lineman was expected to miss multiple contests, and his status for Week 8 is now in question. In his absence Sunday, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo will remain in significant roles versus the Titans.

    Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Paye is expected to miss multiple weeks due to a high-ankle sprain, so his lack of availability for Week 6 doesn't come as a surprise. Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo are in line for increased snaps while Paye is sidelined.

    Paye (ankle) will be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: Paye is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain and will likely be sidelined for multiple weeks, though he hasn't officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars yet. Regardless, in Paye's likely absence, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo would be candidates for increased snaps.

  • Believed to have high-ankle sprain

    Paye is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Thursday's overtime win over Denver, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
