Maye had two tackles, an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.
EDGE 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 Week 7 rematch against the Bills.

Maye recorded eight tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Colts.

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

Maye notched 10 tackles (seven solo), two sacks, two defended passes and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
EDGE 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 momentum against the 49ers in Week 2.

Maye (calf) is officially active for the team's Week 1 contest against the Bills, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.
EDGE 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.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was a limited participant for Wednesday's session, but was downgraded while adding the ankle injury to the report. It's certainly interesting for the Florida product, as he's expected to lead the team 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.

Maye exited practice early Sunday with calf tightness, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE 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.
