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

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.
EDGE Analysis
Paye will now need to clear the league's five-step process to play in Week 5 against the Titans, which has been a difficult task for NFL players this season. Assuming that Paye will be unable to play, Dayo Odeyingbo and Tyquan Lewis will be the most likely candidates to see extra snaps when the team hosts Tennessee.

Paye had a sack, three tackles and a tackle for a loss in Sunday's win at Baltimore.
EDGE Analysis
Paye has a sack in each of his first three game the season. He played on 49 of the defense's 72 snaps. Paye looks to be building off last year's improvement that saw him record six sacks in 12 games.

Paye had a sack, four total tackles and two tackles for a loss in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
EDGE 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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