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

EDGE Analysis
Maye is participating in team drills for the first time since suffering his shoulder injury, albeit with the second team and without full contact. The Jets are taking a cautious approach to the third-year safety's recovery, since Maye is expected to step into a starting role when healthy.

Maye (shoulder) was activated from the PUP list Sunday and participated in individual and 7-on-7 drills, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
May opened camp on the PUP list while recovering from shoulder surgery he underwent back in December. It will be the first time in a while that Maye is consistently on the football field, so look for the Jets to ease the safety back into the swing of things.

Coach Adam Gase said "I really hope so" Wednesday when asked whether Maye (shoulder) would be ready for Week 1, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye played only six games in 2018. The third-year safety underwent surgery in December to address an unspecified shoulder issue, and continues to work through his rehab process. As a result, Maye was placed on the PUP list to start training camp after he was limited throughout previous offseason activities. He won't be eligible to practice unless he's removed from the list.

Maye (shoulder) will start training camp on the Physically Unable to perform list.
EDGE Analysis
Maye underwent surgery in December to correct an unspecified shoulder problem and was limited during offseason work to this point. The Jets were optimistic their free safety was going to be ready for the start of camp, but it's not time to panic about Maye missing regular-season action. When healthy, Maye will join Jamal Adams to form one of the more daunting safety tandems in the NFL.

Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Maye's (shoulder) limitations in offseason workouts are precautionary, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. The safety is expected to be a full participant from the outset of training camp this summer.
EDGE Analysis
Maye's offseason has been marred by injury rehab for the second year in a row, this time due to December surgery to correct an unspecified shoulder problem. However, he was only slated for a few months of rehab from the time he went under the knife, and it seems he's now nearing full health. The fact the Jets are playing it safe with him in OTAs is no surprise. When healthy, Maye will join Jamal Adams to form one of the more daunting safety tandems in the NFL.

Maye (shoulder) is not participating in team drills during the opening week of OTAs, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye is coming off shoulder surgery and is presumably being eased into his return to 11-on-11 drills. It sounds as if the promising safety has otherwise been heavily involved in the offseason program to date, though, and it's likely only a matter of time until the Jets coaching staff feels comfortable allowing Maye to practice without limitations.

Maye (shoulder) is practicing without restrictions at the Jets' offseason program, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's still possible Maye has some limitations once padded practices begin, but he seems to have made good progress in his recovery from Dec. 4 shoulder surgery. He's locked in as the starter at free safety, averaging 5.1 tackles in 22 games (all starts) since the Jets selected him at No. 39 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Maye (shoulder/thumb) underwent shoulder surgery Tuesday, Daryl Slater of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Todd Bowles indicated the recovery window is a "couple months", so Maye will hopefully will be able to partake in spring practices. The 25-year-old underwent ankle surgery following his rookie season last year, though he still played in all 16 games. Maye totaled 34 tackles (30 solo), one forced fumble, one interception and a half-sack in only six games this season for the Jets.
