Daron Payne - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Questionable for Sunday Payne (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

Impact The 27-year-old popped up on the Commanders' injury report Friday as a non-participant due to a back issue, putting his status for Sunday's game up in the air. Payne has yet to miss a game this season, recording 33 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, over 13 appearances. If he's unable to suit up in Week 15, Carl Davis and Sheldon Day will likely see increased work with Washington's first-team defense.

Sacks Williams in Week 8 Payne logged four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 18-15 win over Chicago.

Impact Payne sacked Caleb Williams for a 15-yard loss late in the second quarter, which forced the Bears to punt on the next play. It was Payne's first solo sack of 2024, and through the first eight games of the regular season he has logged 15 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks.

Dealing with injury Payne (back) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.

Impact Payne will start Week 1 prep as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. The Alabama product has only missed one regular-season game in his six-year career, so the chances of him sitting out Sunday is likely minimal. However, it'll still be worth monitoring his status for practice Thursday and Friday.

Drops off to four sacks Payne recorded 53 tackles (32 solo), four sacks, four pass defenses, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 17 games in 2023.

Impact The 320-pound DT has missed just one game through six pro seasons, but his pass-rushing stats took a big step backwards in 2023 following career highs of 11.5 sacks and 20 QB hits the year prior. He's otherwise recorded two-to-five sacks each year, and while he remains one of the better players on Washington's beleaguered defense, there are certainly those who would argue that the four-year, $90 million contract he signed last spring was an overpay. Regardless, Payne figures to be back in 2024 under a new coaching staff and will be one of the few returning starters locked into a key role.

Posts two tackles for loss Thursday Payne registered three tackles (all solo), including two for loss, and also deflected a pass in Thursday's Week 12 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Payne twice stopped Tony Pollard behind the line of scrimmage, though those plays were only small nuisances to the Cowboys in their eventual blowout win. Payne has just 2.0 sacks this season after recording 11.5 last year, but nine of his 38 stops have gone for a loss.
