  • 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.

  • Out with ankle injury

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

    Analysis: Paye will miss a third game in a row Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain Oct. 6 versus the Broncos. With Paye unavailable again, Tyquan Lewis will continue to see an increased snap count in Week 8.

  • Unavailable for Week 7

    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.

  • Won't play Sunday

    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.

  • Will be evaluated week-to-week

    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.

    Analysis: Paye was carted off the field in the fourth quarter of Thursday's matchup. He'll undergo an MRI on Friday to confirm his diagnosis, and it seems likely that he'll be forced to miss several weeks if a high-ankle sprain is confirmed. Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo are candidates to see increased playing time in Paye's absence.

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Paye sustained an ankle injury and wasn't able to return to Thursday's game against the Broncos,James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Paye was taken off the field on a cart due to an ankle injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of Thursday's contest against the Broncos. Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo will likely see extended snaps if the defensive end's injury is serious.

  • Not returning Thursday

    Paye (lower leg) won't return to Thursday's contest against the Broncos, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

    Analysis: Paye was carted off in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against Denver as he suffered a lower leg injury. The second-year defensive end has had a strong season thus far, although he didn't record a tackle before exiting the game. Expect Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo to see extended usage until Paye is able to get back to full health.

  • Carted off in fourth quarter

    Paye (leg) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Broncos, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Paye had to be carted off after he pulled up with a lower leg injury early in the fourth quarter, leaving his return unlikely for the remainder of Thursday night's contest. The second-year defensive end recorded 16 tackles and three sacks over the first three weeks of the season, but he did not record a tackle before exiting in Week 5. With backup Tyquan Lewis (concussion) also inactive, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo figure to see increased usage.

  • Two sacks in season opener

    Paye had seven total tackles and two sacks in Sunday's overtime tie at Houston.

    Analysis: Paye came up with two big sacks late in Indy's comeback from an early deficit. Paye had just four sacks last season but was second on the team with 39 QB pressures (per PFF), so he could take a large leap in his second season.

  • Clean MRI on knee

    An MRI on Paye's knee looked "pretty clean," head coach Frank Reich told 107.5 FM The Fan Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Paye suffered a knee injury in practice Wednesday, but it looks like he avoided a serious injury. Reich said Paye would be ready for Week 1, but watch his status.

  • Sustains knee injury

    Paye suffered a knee injury Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the injury is unknown, and there's no timetable for Paye's return. The 2021 first-round pick and Indianapolis will cross their fingers for a favorable diagnosis, but in the meantime, Tyquan Lewis and Ben Banogu should pick up some extra reps at defensive end opposite Yannick Ngakoue.

  • Nabs sack in second straight week

    Paye recorded a sack and a forced fumble Sunday in the Colts' 41-15 win over the Bills.

    Analysis: For the second week in a row, Paye got to the quarterback after previously going without a sack in his first seven NFL appearances. The forced fumble was also the first of the rookie first-round pick's career. Though Buffalo recovered the loose ball, Paye's strip sack of Josh Allen resulted in a 12-yard loss and created a challenging field-goal attempt for Bills kicker Tyler Bass, whose 57-yarder hit the right upright and allowed the Colts to take a 17-point lead into halftime.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round draft pick had an impressive preseason with two sacks. He won the starting nod over Tyquan Lewis, but both should get significant snaps.

    Analysis: Paye has drawn rave reviews in training camp and got his first sack as a professional. He missed some time with a sore ankle, but it doesn't look like an issue for the regular season.
