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

Maye recorded 11 tackles (eight solo) during Monday's 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers.
EDGE 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 Week 14 bye.

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

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

Maye (abdomen) is inactive Sunday against the Steelers.
EDGE 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.

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

Maye (abdomen) was a non-participant in practice Thursday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was able to log 100 percent of the team's snaps on defense in Monday's loss to the Raven's, so it's unclear when he may have picked up the injury. His status in Friday's practice report should shed a better light on his potential availability for Sunday's contest with the Steelers.

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

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

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