Donald Payne

It's a curious finish to the season for the 25-year-old, as he recorded only a single tackle in the finale after posting 57 tackles in the previous four games. Payne will be a restricted free agent in 2020 and will likely return to a reserve role with Myles Jack (knee) set to return following an August extension.

It's now four straight games with double-digit tackles for Payne, who began the season with 15 total tackles for his career. The 25-year-old has 57 tackles (33 solo), one sack and one pass defensed in the four contests as a fill-in starter in place of Myles Jack (knee).

Payne has started the last three games with Myles Jack (knee) on injured reserve and has 41 total tackles in that stretch. The 25-year-old has turned himself into a valuable IDP option, having played all but one defensive snap since stepping into the starting role.

The 25-year-old now has 29 tackles (14 solo) and a sack in two starts in place of Myles Jack (knee), who was placed on injured reserve. The tackle numbers have undoubtedly been helped by the game script, as the Jaguars faced significant halftime deficits in both contests and overall were outscored 73-21. Regardless, Payne could be a solid late-season IDP pickup since he's poised to finish out the season as Jacksonville's starting middle linebacker.
