Colts' Kwity Paye: Nine tackles in return from
Rotowire
Paye logged nine tackles (six solo), including one sack, during Sunday's 54-19 defeat versus the Cowboys.
Paye logged a season high in tackles while making his return from a two-game hiatus with an ankle injury. The 2021 first-round pick also logged his fifth sack of the season, and he's been a relatively effective pass rusher when healthy this season. While Paye did not appear to be limited by this lingering ankle issue, playing his usual share of the Colts' defensive snaps despite the blowout nature of this loss, he'll have an extra week to heal up while the team is on bye Week 14.

Colts' Kwity Paye: Remains out Week 12
Rotowire
Paye (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Steelers.
Paye will miss his second game in a row after being forced out with an ankle injury during the Colts' Week 10 win over the Raiders.

With the availability of starting defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (back) also up in the air, Dayo Odeyingbo and Ifeadi Odenigbo could both stand to see increased usage versus Pittsburgh.

Rotowire
Paye recorded eight tackles (seven solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Patriots.
Paye played 46 defensive snaps and finished as the Colts' leading tackler after sitting out the last three weeks with a high-ankle sprain. The second-year pass rusher also logged his fourth sack of the season as he brought down quarterback Mac Jones for a six-yard loss in the first quarter. Paye has now collected 24 stops (19 solo) across six games played in 2022, and he should easily set career highs in tackles and sacks so long as he stays healthy over the back half of the season.

Since he suffered a high-ankle sprain back in Week 5 versus Denver, Paye hasn't been able to suit up in any of the Colts' previous three games as a result. However, the 23-year-old logged a limited practice Wednesday followed by a full session Thursday, suggesting he's on track to make his return Sunday in New England.

Paye will start at defense end opposite Al-Quadin Muhammad for the season-opening matchup against Seattle, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
The 2021 first-round draft pick had an impressive preseason with two sacks. He won the starting nod over Tyquan Lewis, but both should get significant snaps.
