News

  • Has charges dismissed

    Maye (shoulder) has had charges dropped following a September 2022 arrest in New Orleans, La. due to insufficient evidence, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Maye's arrest stemmed from accusations of aggravated assault with a firearm, for which he won't face any legal ramifications. However, the NFL may weigh in if it's found that he violated the personal conduct policy. Prior to missing the last three games of last season due to a shoulder injury, Maye totaled 60 tackles, two pass defenses and one forced fumble in 10 appearances.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Maye (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Maye will miss a third straight game to end the 2022 campaign due to a shoulder injury, marking his second three-game absence this year. The veteran safety will finish his first season in New Orleans with 60 tackles, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 10 appearances.

  • Chance to play Sunday

    Maye (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Maye has missed back-to-back games due to a shoulder injury, but he logged limited practices Thursday and Friday to give himself a chance to suit up Sunday. The veteran safety has recorded 60 tackles, two pass defenses and one forced fumble across 10 appearances during his first season in New Orleans.

  • Still sidelined in Week 17

    Maye (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye was unable to practice this week due to his shoulder injury, and he'll be forced to miss a second consecutive game. It's unclear whether he'll be available for the Saints' Week 18 matchup against Carolina.

  • Won't play versus Cleveland

    Maye (shoulder) has been deemed inactive for Saturday's game against the Browns, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye picked up a shoulder injury at some point ahead of Week 16 prep that kept him limited in each practice leading up to Saturday's contest. The 29-year-old will now miss his fifth game of the season. As a result, expect P.J. Williams, who was ruled active before this Week 16 tilt, to take on a bigger role at safety alongside Tyrann Mathieu.

  • Inactive Saturday

    Maye (shoulder) has been deemed inactive ahead of Saturday's game versus the Browns.

    Analysis: Maye won't suit up after logging three consecutive limited practices during Week 16 prep. The 29-year-old had played every defensive snap in all but one of his 10 games this season.

  • Status up in the air for Saturday

    Maye is considered questionable to play in Saturday's game against the Browns due to a shoulder injury, Terrin Waack of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Maye logged seven tackles and a season-high two passes defended while playing every defensive snap in Sunday's win over the Falcons. However, it appears he came away from this game with a shoulder injury, as he was limited in each practice during Week 16 prep. With fellow defensive back P.J. Williams (knee) also questionable to play, it's possible the Saints' secondary could be left undermanned against Cleveland.

  • Adds to stout pass defense

    Maye posted seven tackles (six solo) and two passes defended during Sunday's 21-18 victory against Atlanta.

    Analysis: Maye logged his first two passes defended of the season, as Falcons rookie quarterback Desmond Ridder went 13-for-26 passing for 97 yards during his NFL debut Sunday. However, the starting strong safety still tied Tyrann Mathieu for his team's second-most passes defended behind cornerback Alontae Taylor (three). Maye has now recorded 60 tackles while playing every defensive snap in all but one of his 10 games this season, and he should continue to play a prominent role Week 16 in Cleveland.

  • Team-high 11 stops

    Maye recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Maye made an early impact Monday night, logging six tackles on Tampa Bay's 16-play opening drive. As a result, the safety went on to finish as the Saints' leading tackler, and he recorded double-digit stops for the second time this season. Maye has put up consistent production when healthy this season, logging 53 tackles over nine games, though he's yet to notch a pass defended. He'll look to continue providing a physical presence on the back end of New Orleans' defense following the team's…read more

  • Set to play Sunday

    May (abdomen) does not carry a game status on the Saints' injury report and will be available for Sunday's contest against the Rams.

    Analysis: Maye was ruled inactive for New Orleans' Week 10 loss to Pittsburgh after being listed as questionable with an abdomen injury. While the safety was a limited participant in each practice ahead of Sunday's game, he appears ready to suit up versus the Rams. Maye has played almost every defensive snap in his six games this season, so he should reprise an every-down role alongside Tyrann Mathieu in Week 11.

  • Limited at practice Wednesday

    Maye (abdomen) logged his second straight limited practice Wednesday, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye missed this past Sunday's game against Pittsburgh after missing two practices last week. His ability to practice in a limited fashion each of the past two days suggests that he has a chance of returning Week 11 against the Rams, though he could carry a questionable tag heading into the weekend if he isn't able to fully participate Friday. Should Maye miss Sunday's contest, P.J. Williams could again be in line for increased defensive snaps.

  • Unable to play Sunday

    Maye (abdomen) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Maye logged DNP's on Thursday and Friday leading up to his inactive tag Sunday. The veteran safety's inability to suit up will be a blow to the team's secondary, while also leading to increased opportunity for J.T. Gray and Daniel Sorensen.

  • Questionable Sunday

    Maye (abdomen) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye didn't participate in practice Thursday or Friday, but he'll still have a chance to suit up for Sunday's matchup. If he's unavailable, J.T. Gray and Daniel Sorensen will likely see increased work in the Saints' secondary.

  • Logs DNP

    Maye (abdomen) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Maye was able to log 100 percent of the team's snaps on defense in Monday's loss to the Ravens, so it's unclear when he may have picked up the injury. His status in Friday's practice should shed a better light on his potential availability for Sunday's contest with the Steelers.

  • Team-high 11 stops

    Maye recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 27-13 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Maye logged double-digit tackles for the first time this season against Baltimore. The 29-year-old safety missed Weeks 3 through 5 due to a rib injury, but he has now totaled 21 tackles (16 solo) while playing every defensive snap over the past four games. Maye will continue to prominently feature in New Orleans' secondary against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

  • Available for Week 6

    Maye is active for Sunday's contest against the Bengals.

    Analysis: Maye was limited at each practice ahead of Week 6, but he'll still return action following a three-game absence due to injured ribs. The 29-year-old pro figures to reclaim his spot as the Saints starting strong safety.

  • Questionable for Week 6

    Maye (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Maye was limited at practice all week, but coach Dennis Allen said Friday that the safety has a "good chance" to play against Cincinnati, Ross Jackson of Locked On Sports reports. The 29-year-old hasn't suited up since Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

  • Limited in practice

    Maye (ribs) was a limited participant during the Saints' practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maye has been limited by a rib injury suffered in New Orleans' Week 2 loss to Tampa Bay, forcing him to miss his third consecutive game Sunday. Therefore, the veteran safety will likely need to log at least one full practice Thursday or Friday if he wants to make a return in Week 6 against the Bengals. Maye tallied 13 tackles and force a fumble over the first two games of the season, and his availability would help shore up the Saints' banged-up secondary.

  • Out Sunday

    Maye (ribs) is inactive Sunday against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Maye has been out since Week 2 against the Buccaneers, and he'll need to wait at least one more week before returning. P.J. Williams had seen an increase role in Maye's absence, but he was put on IR with a quadriceps injury, so it's unclear who will step up now in the Saints secondary.

  • Listed as questionable

    Maye (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Maye has missed back-to-back contests and is listed as questionable after logging a week of limited practices for a second straight game. In his absence, P.J. Williams (quadriceps) had garnered an increased role in New Orleans' secondary, but Williams has been ruled out for Week 5, leaving the Saints with minimal defensive-back depth even if Maye is ultimately ruled available.

  • Limited again Wednesday

    Maye (ribs) was listed as a limited participant on the Saints' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maye was limited in practice week before being ruled out in Week 4, leaving the Saints without their starting strong safety for the second game in a row. As a result, cornerback P.J. Williams has played an increased role in New Orleans' secondary during this span, recording seven tackles and two passes defended over 107 defensive snaps. Maye will look to work his way back to full participation heading into Sunday's game against Seattle.

    Maye (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye was a limited participant at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he was unable to take the field Friday and won't suit up for Sunday's matchup in London. J.T. Gray and Daniel Sorensen should see increased work in the Saints' secondary in Week 4.

  • Remains limited Wednesday

    Maye (ribs) was a limited participant Wednesday at practice, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye was inactive for the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Panthers while dealing with a ribs injury and he remained limited at practice to open the week Wednesday. The team is set to travel to London this weekend, so an update on the safety's status could come sooner rather than later.

  • Sitting out Sunday

    Maye (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against Carolina.

    Analysis: After practicing in limited capacity this week, Maye will be sidelined for Week 3's contest. The sixth-year defensive back plays a crucial role for the Saints' defensive and his absence will be notable. Tyrann Mathieu is active and should provide a boost to the team's defense.

    Maye (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Maye was a limited participant at each practice this week, but he'll still have a chance to suit up Sunday. He's been a key piece to New Orleans' defense during his first two games with his new team, so his potential absence would be a big blow.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Maye (ribs) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maye picked up the wrist injury during Sunday's game against Tampa Bay and was deemed questionable to return, but he's now being listed with a rib injury. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but he'll have two more practices to clear the injury before the Saints have to make a decision on his status for Week 3.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Maye (wrist) was deemed questionable to return after exiting Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye appears to have picked up an unspecified wrist injury at some point during New Orleans' loss to Tampa Bay. The 29-year-old now will look to work his way back heading into the Saints' next game against the Panthers next Sunday.

  • Puts in full practice

    Maye (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Maye had been limited in the team's first Week 2 session Wednesday due to an ankle issue, but his upgrade to full activity a day later puts him in the clear for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. In the Saints' season opener against the Falcons, the sixth-year defensive back totaled nine tackles (eight solo) and played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps.

  • Limited with ankle issue

    Maye (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Maye played 71 defensive snaps and recorded nine tackles during the season opener, but he presumably tweaked his ankle as well. The extent of the issue remains unclear, but if the veteran safety isn't upgraded to a full participant Thursday or Friday, his status for Week 2 could be in danger.

  • Arrested Thursday

    Maye was arrested in New Orleans, La. on Thursday morning regarding accusations of aggravated assault with a firearm, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: The alleged incident occurred Monday in Jefferson Parish, and Maye since has been released from jail. Coach Dennis Allen told Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com that the Saints won't comment on the matter until they have more information. Maye now could be subject to league discipline under the personal conduct policy, regardless of how the legal process plays out.

  • Receives clearance for camp

    General Manager Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that Maye is "ready to go" for training camp after recovering from an Achilles injury.

    Analysis: It's good news for the Saints and Maye, who is expected to replace Marcus Williams at safety after signing a three-year, $28.5 million contract in March. He notched 88 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions the last time he played a full season, so he has an outside shot at achieving fantasy-relevant DB production in 2022.

  • Expects clearance by training camp

    Maye (Achilles) is expected to receive full medical clearance before the start of training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Maye will be over nine months removed from November 2021 surgery to address a ruptured Achilles by the start of training camp. The 29-year-old may struggle to regain the form he displayed prior to the injury, but the former Jets defensive captain initially appears to be a more cost-effective way for the Saints to replace Marcus Williams, who recently signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Ravens. Maye agreed to a three-year, $28.5 million pact with New Orleans on Tuesday.

  • Joins Saints on three-year deal

    Maye (Achilles) agreed to a three-year, $28.5 million contract with the Saints on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maye underwent surgery to repair a torn Achilles in early November, but he still proved to be a popular target in free agency. It's unclear if the 29-year-old will be ready to go for Week 1, but when healthy he figures to start at free safety alongside Malcolm Jenkins.

  • Undergoes successful surgery

    Maye (Achilles) revealed Thursday on his personal Twitter feed that he underwent successful surgery.

    Analysis: Maye was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, and he'll now face a lengthy recovery process after he sustained a torn Achilles. The 28-year-old is slated to become a free agent during the offseason and will likely be unavailable to participate in OTAs for whatever team he finds himself on this spring.

  • Placed on IR

    Maye (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official website reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Maye was placed on injured reserve after suffering a torn Achilles that will knock him out for the remainder of the season. The 28-year-old safety finished the 2021 campaign with 46 tackles and one sack in just six games played.

  • Done for season

    Maye will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn Achilles, Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports reports.

    Analysis: This was feared to be a serious injury from the start, and its severity has now been confirmed. Maye, who was playing out the season on the franchise tag, will miss the remainder of the campaign, and his recovery may linger into next season. The 28-year-old safety finishes the season with 46 tackles and one sack in just six games played.

  • May have suffered serious injury

    Maye suffered an Achilles injury that "doesn't look good," Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Maye exited the game and immediately went to the locker room after suffering a non-contact injury early in the third quarter. The issue was originally described as being related to his calf, though head coach Robert Saleh referred to an Achilles injury after the game. Though there has been no official diagnosis, initial reports suggest that Maye could be in for a lengthy absence.

  • Suffers calf injury

    Maye is doubtful to return to Thursday's game against the Colts after suffering a calf injury.

    Analysis: Maye was injured early in the third quarter and immediately went to the locker room. There's no official word on the extent of the injury, but given his quick exit from the field, it appears that Maye is unlikely to return. Prior to the injury, Maye managed six total tackles.

  • Just five stops in upset win

    Maye notched five solo tackles during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Maye was statistically quiet during Sunday's upset win, especially considering that he was coming off a 12-stop performance Week 7. In all five appearances this season, Maye has played 100 percent of defensive snaps. He will be a worthwhile bounce-back candidate heading into Thursday's road matchup against the Colts.

  • Racks up 12 tackles in return

    Maye (ankle) had a team-high 12 tackles (seven solo) to go with a tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: With New England's rushing attack and short passing game easily getting past New York's injury-riddled linebacker corps, Maye and fellow safety Ashtyn Davis (11 tackles) were busy providing support downfield. Maye's a popular candidate to be moved at the trade deadline if the Jets feel like they won't be able to re-sign their 2017 second-round selection, who's currently playing on the franchise tag.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old suffered the ankle injury on Sept. 26 versus the Broncos and has been inactive for two straight contests, but he appears like a full-go for this weekend. In three games this season, Maye has 23 tackles, a sack and a pass deflection.

    Maye (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday, but he is still considered questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Maye suffered an ankle injury during the Week 3 loss to Denver and has been sidelined since. The 2017 second-rounder will likely need a few practices under him to be available for game action, but if he is able to suit up Sunday, then he would likely reclaim his starting job at free safety.

    Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Maye (ankle) is considered day-to-day, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Maye suffered an ankle injury during the Week 3 loss to Denver in late September, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him return to practice in the coming days. The 2017 second-rounder is in line to reclaim his starting job at free safety once he's cleared to play.

  • Should return after bye week

    Coach Robert Saleh hopes Maye (ankle) will be able to play coming out of the Jets' Week 6 bye, Eric Allen of the Jets' official sitereports.

    Analysis: Maye has missed the past two games while dealing with an ankle injury, but that could be the end of his absence thanks to the bye this week. The 28-year-old should reclaim the starting role at free safety once healthy.

  • Facing DUI charges

    Maye (ankle) is facing three charges stemming from a DUI arrest that occurred Feb. 23 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Maye was charged with driving under the influence, DUI/damage to property and leaving the scene of an accident, for which he has an upcoming Zoom hearing scheduled for Oct. 20. While the legal process plays out, the NFL likely will begin an investigation of its own, particularly to determine any potential violations of the personal conduct policy. Currently, Maye is recovering from a sprained ankle, which has resulted in one DNP and is expected to keep him sidelined 3-to-4 weeks overall.

  • Set to miss multiple weeks

    The Jets expect Maye to miss 3-to-4 weeks while he recovers from an ankle injury, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Maye tallied nine tackles while playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the Week 3 loss to the Broncos, but he injured his ankle near the end of the contest and will be forced to miss time as a result. The loss of Maye is a costly blow to a New York secondary that is already down another starting safety in Lamarcus Joyner (triceps), who went down with a season-ending injury Week 1. Adrian Colbert and Jarrod Wilson are now the lone healthy safeties remaining on the roster.

  • Another strong tackling effort

    Maye totaled nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Maye came one tackle short of C.J. Mosley's team-leading total, as two of the few established veterans on the league's youngest roster have kept things from spiraling further out of control for the struggling Jets. The 29-year-old safety set a career high with 88 tackles last season, and Maye's on pace to blow past that total with 23 tackles through three games.

  • Stuffs stat sheet in Week 2 loss

    Maye had six tackles (four solo), two tackles for loss, a sack and a pass defensed in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Maye did a little bit of everything for a Jets defense that spent extensive time on the field with the offense struggling badly. New York's offensive struggles through two weeks suggest game scripts like this one will likely be common, which should allow the versatile Maye to continue stuffing the stat sheet moving forward.

  • Eight tackles in season opener

    Maye had eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 19-14 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: Maye put aside any hard feelings over his contract dispute with the Jets and delivered a solid performance in the season opener. Only linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips (12) registered more tackles than Maye. The versatile safety provides much-needed security behind the Jets' inexperienced cornerback corps while still finding time to contribute in run support.

  • Cleared for return

    Maye passed his physical and was cleared to return to practice Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: Maye was placed on the non-football injury last to start camp but was cleared after missing very little time. He will play the 2021 season on the franchise tag after he and the Jets failed to reach a long-term extension prior to the July 15 deadline. Maye has emerged as a cornerstone of the team's secondary and logged 88 tackles, 11 passes defensed and two interceptions across 16 games in 2020.

  • Placed on NFI list

    The Jets are placing Maye on the non-football injury list for the start of training camp, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: This may be a product of tension between player and team, with Maye scheduled to play out 2021 under a franchise tag after negotiations on a long-term contract fell apart ahead of the July 15 deadline. The 28-year-old safety was a 16-game starter the past two seasons, and no injury has been reported so far this spring/summer. Still, it's possible this is unrelated to the contract, and merely a result of Maye suffering an injury while he was away from the team.

  • Doesn't reach extension agreement

    Maye and the Jets failed to reach a long-term contract agreement prior to Thursday's deadline for franchise-tagged players, Joey Chandler of NJ.com reports.

    Analysis: Reports recently had surfaced that contract talks between Maye and the team had broken down, making it unlikely that a deal would be reached. He'll now play the 2022 season under the franchise tag and earn $10.6 million. It's possible that Maye holds out of training camp in an effort to be traded, though that may not be likely given that he attended the team's mandatory minicamp earlier in the offseason.

  • Unlikely to sign extension

    Maye and the Jets aren't expected to agree on a long-term contract before Thursday's deadline for franchise-tagged players, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The team reportedly didn't respond to Maye's latest proposal, and the safety then retracted it. He's now expected to play out 2021 under a franchise tag for $10.6 million, though the Jets might explore trade possibilities if they're now feeling pessimistic about the prospect of re-signing Maye next offseason.

  • Accepts franchise tag

    Maye has accepted his $10.6 million franchise tag with the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maye will stick with the Jets on a $10.6 million salary for the 2021 season, though both sides still have until July 15 to come to terms on a multi-year extension. The 28-year-old safety has started all 16 games in three of four seasons with the Jets, and he set career-high marks in terms of tackles (88 total), pass breakups (11) and sacks (two) last season.

  • Receives franchise tag

    The Jets placed the franchise tag on Maye on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Maye has averaged 4.9 tackles per game through four seasons, culminating in a career-high 88 stops in 2020. Through 54 career contests, the free safety also has accumulated six interceptions, four forced fumbles, 2.5 sacks and one fumble recovery. Assuming the Jets are unable to reach a long-term deal with Maye by July 15 and he puts pen to paper on the tag, he'll earn $10.5 million in the coming campaign, per Schefter.

  • Career-high 88 tackles in Year 4

    Maye recorded a team-high 10 tackles (seven solo) and a tackle for loss in Sunday's season finale against the Patriots, bringing his season total to a career-best 88 tackles.

    Analysis: Only linebacker Neville Hewitt (134) finished with more tackles, and Maye also contributed two interceptions, two sacks and 11 passes defensed. The safety was one of the few consistent positive performers on a team that finished 2-14, so Maye will likely be extended by the Jets, as the 2017 second-round pick's rookie contract has expired.

  • Ten tackles in loss

    Maye finished with 10 tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Maye was a tackling machine in both games against the Bills this season, racking up 10 tackles in each matchup. The safety has added 24 tackles over the five games in between, giving him a total of 44 heading into a Week 8 date with the Chiefs.

  • Spectacular interception in loss

    Maye had two tackles, an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Maye's highlight-reel interception gave Jets fans something to cheer about in what was otherwise another dismal performance from the league's last winless team. He got inside position on the receiver to defend the pass, then pinned the ball against his backside on the way down before finally securing it behind his back after it started roll out of his hand. Maye has been one of the few bright spots for New York, with 34 tackles, two sacks, an interception and four passes defensed heading into a…read more

  • Ties for team lead in tackles

    Maye recorded seven tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 31-13 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Maye cooled down after a career game in the season opener, but he still tied with Quinnen Williams for the team lead in tackles. The fourth-year safety out of Florida is playing the best football of his career for a Jets team that doesn't have much talent around him.

  • Terrific debut in new role

    Maye notched 10 tackles (seven solo), two sacks, two defended passes and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Maye dealt with an ankle injury earlier this week, but he didn't show any signs of being hampered during his debut in the role Jamal Adams had handled in Gregg Williams' defense for the last three years. The 27-year-old looked reminiscent of his former All Pro teammate while flying all over the field during Sunday's season opener, as he logged career-high marks in terms of both tackles and sacks. Maye, who appears to have emerged as the new star of New York's secondary, will look to keep up his…read more

    Analysis: Maye practiced on a limited basis twice during the week, enough to get him ready for the opening contest of the season. He'll pair with Bradley McDougald to start on the back end of the Jets' secondary.

    Maye (calf) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Bills, Kimberly Jones of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Maye logged two limited practice sessions this week, but he's made enough progress to play in the season opener. The 27-year-old will start at strong safety this season. Last season as a starter with Jamal Adams by his side, Maye produced 65 tackles, seven pass breakups and an interception, but it'll be a bit different this year with Adams replaced by Bradley McDougald.

    Maye (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Bills.

    Analysis: Maye put forth a LP/DNP/LP practice slate this week while managing a calf injury. The fourth-year pro will handle his usual starting safety role for the Jets if cleared to suit up Sunday, but a final decision on his availability won't come until the weekend.

    Maye (calf) was a limited participant in Friday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye wasn't able to take the practice field Thursday, so it's encouraging to see that he's returned in at least limited fashion. A final decision on his status for Week 1 won't be made until the weekend, but Matthias Farley and Ashtyn Davis would be in line for increased workloads if he were to miss any time.

    Maye (ankle/calf) didn't suit up for Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Maye was a limited participant for Wednesday's session, but he was downgraded while adding the ankle injury to his issues. The Florida product's status is worth monitoring, as he's expected to serve as the starting strong safety in 2020. If he's forced to miss Week 1's game against Buffalo, Matthias Farley and Ashtyn Davis could be in line to see an increased snap count.

    Analysis: Maye wanted to finish practice, but head coach Adam Gase decided to proceed with caution. Bennett Jackson and Ashtyn Davis will cover first-team duties while Maye sits out. Heading into his fourth season, Maye is expected to start once he's healthy, although he won't have All-Pro Jamal Adams on his side for the first time of his career.

  • Stayed healthy in 2019

    Maye finished the 2019 season with 65 tackles and one interception.

    Analysis: Maye was able to dress for all 16 games, staying healthy after a shoulder injury limited him to just six appearances in 2018. The 26-year-old safety had a few near-interceptions that he would surely want to have back, but he still turned in a solid campaign overall. Maye and fellow 2017 draftee Jamal Adams should continue to start alongside each other at safety in 2020 barring an injury or trade.
