Maye (suspension) was reinstated from the reserve-suspended list Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was suspended by the league for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy prior to Week 3. He is now set to return to his role as New Orleans' starting strong safety, which means Jordan Howden should return to a reserve role. Maye did not miss a snap through two weeks to start the season and accumulated 13 tackles (11 solo) to go along with an interception.

EDGE Analysis
In a rough break for New Orleans, Maye will now have to wait to play again until Oct. 15 at Houston at the earliest. In the meantime, rookie fifth-rounder Jordan Howden could be called upon to replace him in the starting lineup at safety.

Maye registered six tackles (five solo), an interception and a pass deflection in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Titans.
EDGE Analysis
Maye made his presence felt in Week 1, most notably intercepting Ryan Tannehill inside the redzone to open the second half. The safety played all 59 defensive snaps for New Orleans and he could be primed for a resurgent campaign in his second season with the team.

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.
EDGE 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.

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

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.
EDGE 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.
