News

  • Plays 30 percent of defensive snaps

    Mayo started five of 17 games in 2023 and recorded 59 tackles (39 solo) with 2.0 sacks.

    Analysis: The 30-year-old linebacker played 350 defensive snaps, which was just 30 percent of the team total but the second most of his career, after he was on the field for 631 with the Giants in 2019. Mayo is scheduled for unrestricted free agency this offseason and shouldn't have much trouble finding work given that he's topped 200 special teams snaps in nine consecutive seasons since entering the NFL as a fifth-round pick with Carolina in 2015.

  • Another eight-stop outing

    Mayo logged eight total tackles (six solo), including two tackles for loss in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Mayo has seen increased time on the Commanders' defense with Jamin Davis (shoulder) on injured reserve, and he's been productive since given the opportunity. The veteran outside linebacker posted his second consecutive eight-tackle performance in Week 17, bringing his season total up to 55 stops. Expect Mayo and Washington's defense to try and end its season on a positive note in Week 18 against the Cowboys.

  • Records eight stops Sunday

    Mayo tallied eight tackles (three solo) in Sunday's Week 16 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Mayo had been relegated to special-teams work each of Washington's previous three contests, but he logged 25 defensive snaps versus New York with Jamin Davis (shoulder) on IR. Mayo made the most of the opportunity, tallying his highest tackle total since Week 8 against Philadelphia. He's up to 47 stops on the campaign, the second-most of his nine-year NFL career.

  • Logs two sacks vs. Giants

    Mayo recorded six tackles (five solo) including two sacks in Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Giants.

    Analysis: Mayo tallied multiple sacks in a single game for the first time in his career in Week 11, both of them coming in the first quarter. With Cody Barton (ankle) expected to return to action soon, Mayo is not an IDP option in most formats moving forward.

  • Leads team in tackles Week 8

    Mayo registered nine tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Mayo got the start Sunday with Cody Barton (ankle) placed on injured reserve Saturday. Mayo followed up his 11-tackle performance in Week 7 with Sunday's team-high total over 54 defensive snaps. Mayo should continue to see the field plenty with Barton set to miss at least the next three games.

  • Set to start vs. Eagles

    Mayo will start at linebacker in Sunday's game versus Philadelphia, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Cody Barton (ankle) out, Mayo will get the call as the next man up at linebacker in Week 8. He recorded 11 tackles after he took over for Barton in Week 7, so he holds some IDP appeal against the run-heavy Eagles.

    Published: Fri, Oct 27 at 11:05am by Rotowire.com

  • Effective in loss

    Mayo recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Mayo saw increased playing time after Cody Barton left the game with an ankle injury and had his most productive game of the season. The 30-year-old Mayo led the team in tackles and could start at linebacker if Barton ends up missing extended time.

  • Primarily playing special teams

    Mayo registered 34 tackles (14 solo), including one sack, while playing in 13 games (three starts) during the 2022 season.

    Analysis: Mayo saw the majority of his playing time this season on special teams, but he still started Washington's final three games as Cole Holcomb (foot) and Jon Bostic (pectoral) were both out with injuries. The eighth-year pro was effective in his limited playing time, as he amassed 25 tackles and a sack during that three-game span. With his contract set to expire this offseason, Mayo will provide value on special teams and as a reserve linebacker to whichever team he ends up in 2023.

  • Notches first sack in loss

    Mayo recorded eight tackles (five solo), including one sack, in Sunday's 24-10 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Mayo recorded his first sack of the season, bringing down Washington signal-caller Deshaun Watson for a one-yard loss in the first quarter. The 29-year-old has now recorded 17 tackles since stepping up for injured linebacker Jon Bostic (pectoral) over the past two weeks. Mayo has also played at least 88 percent of defensive snaps in each of the past two games, and he should continue to slot into a prominent role alongside leading tackler Jamin Davis in Week 18 versus the Cowboys.

  • Steps up with team-high nine stops

    Mayo recorded nine tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 37-20 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: With both fellow linebackers Cole Holcomb (foot ) and Drew White (knee) unavailable, along with Jon Bostic having departed this past weekend's contest due to a pectoral injury, Mayo slid into Washington's primary defensive rotation and logged season highs in snaps (45) and stops (9). The 29-year-old could find himself in a similar role on New Year's Day should Bostic eventually fail to gain medical clearance for the Week 17 matchup against Cleveland.

  • Gets upgraded

    Mayo (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report.

    Analysis: Mayo hasn't played since Week 8 against the Colts due to the injury, but it appears he'll finally return Sunday against Atlanta. The expected availability of the veteran starting linebacker should be good news for the Commanders' defense when it faces the Falcons for Week 12.

  • Missing third straight game

    Mayo (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's game at Houston.

    Analysis: Mayo was considered questionable but will be sidelined by the hamstring injury for the third consecutive game. Jon Bostic again should have an increased defensive role for Washington on Sunday.

    Published: Sun, Nov 20 at 8:56am by Rotowire.com

  • Won't be active Monday night

    Mayo (hamstring) is listed as out for Monday's game at Philadelphia, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Mayo will miss his second consecutive game as he recovers from a hamstring injury. With Cole Holcomb (foot) also out for Week 10, the Commanders will have to lean on Jon Bostic and first-round sophomore Jamin Davis to try to stop the Eagles' run-heavy attack.

  • Won't play versus Minnesota

    Mayo (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mayo will miss Week 9 with a hamstring injury after playing a season-high 19 defensive snaps Week 8 at Indianapolis. With Cole Holcomb (foot) also ruled out, veteran Jon Bostic could be in line for extended reps alongside Jamin Davis on Sunday.

  • Set to be active Thursday night

    Mayo (hamstring) is slated to be active for Thursday's game against the Bears, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mayo was sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Titans after being limited with a hamstring injury leading up to this contest. However, the 29-year-old will be ready to suit up again against Chicago's run-heavy offensive approach. Mayo recorded all three of his tackles this season while playing 25 of his 26 snaps on special teams in Week 3.

  • Inactive against Tennessee

    Mayo (ankle) is inactive Week 5 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Mayo has served largely as a special teams player over the first four weeks of the season, logging just 19 combined snaps on defense over that span. The Commanders will be without his services this week, however, as a hamstring injury limited him in all three practice sessions this week. Washington will ultimately take a conservative approach with a quick turnaround coming up, as the Commanders will be heading to Chicago for Thursday Night Football.

  • Active for Week 3

    Mayo (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

    Analysis: Mayo popped up on the injury report Friday as a limited participant due to an ankle issue, but he appears to be fine heading into Week 3. After not garnering any defensive snaps in the season opener, the veteran linebacker saw 16 plays in Week 2, but he's yet to record a tackle.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Mayo (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Mayo wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday, so it's concerning to see him listed as questionable. However, he's played mostly on special teams over the first two games of the season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact the Commanders defense.

  • Re-signs with Washington

    The Commanders re-signed Mayo on Thursday.

    Analysis: Mayo initially made the team's 53-man roster but was released a day later. However, he returns to the organization on a standard deal after the Commanders opened up a few roster spots by placing a number of players on IR. Mayo recorded 28 tackles while playing primarily on special teams during his first season with Washington last year.

  • Cut by Washington

    Mayo was released by the Commanders on Wednesday, JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington reports.

    Analysis: Mayo recorded 28 tackles while playing primarily on special teams (287 of his 452 total snaps) during his lone season with Washington last year. Therefore, this move comes as somewhat of a surprise given that Washington will subsequently be left with just three healthy linebackers on the team's current 53-man roster (Cole Holcomb, Milo Eifler and Jamin Davis). Since the Commanders will almost certainly look to build out this position group in the coming days, it's possible that Mayo could…read more

  • Signs one-year extension

    Washington signed Mayo to a one-year contract extension Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Analysis: Mayo finished the 2021 campaign -- his first with Washington -- with 28 tackles (20 solo) and one fumble recovery across 16 appearances. The seventh-year pro will likely fill a similar reserve role again next season.

  • Activated from COVID-19 list

    Washington activated Mayo (illness) from its reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Mayo spent a week and a half away from the team after he tested positive for COVID-19, but he'll now be able to return to practice. Across his five appearances prior to his one-game absence, the 28-year-old racked up nine tackles (eight solo).

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Mayo (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

    Analysis: Josina Anderson of USA Today reports that Mayo tested positive for the virus, bringing the total number of Washington players on the COVID list to nine. Mayo will need to provide back-to-back negative tests at least 24 hours apart or complete a 10-day quarantine before he is able to return to the team's facilities.

  • Re-signs with Washington

    Mayo signed a contract with Washington on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Mayo signed with the Football Team in March but was unable to secure a spot on the 53-man roster Tuesday. However, he re-signed with the team a day later. The 28-year-old should fill a depth role at linebacker for Washington.

  • Stays in NFC East

    Mayo signed a contract with The Washington Football Team on Thursday.

    Analysis: A Dave Gettleman holdover from their mutual time in Carolina (2015-2017), Mayo spent the past two seasons with the Giants before being released Mar. 3. Just over two weeks later, Mayo has settled in with one of his ex-employer's fiercest rivals. The 27-year-old made 11 appearances last season, starting twice while accumulating 29 tackles and a forced fumble.

  • Let go by Giants

    The Giants released Mayo on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Mayo suited up in 11 games for the Giants in 2020, averaging 17.5 defensive snaps per contest and totaling 29 tackles. The Giants will free up $4.85 million in salary-cap space over the next two seasons by cutting him loose.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Mayo (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, according to Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site.

    Analysis: Mayo was considered questionable with the knee issue, but it won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The 27-year-old has filled a rotational role in New York's linebacking corps this season.

  • Questionable with knee injury

    Mayo (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Seattle, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Mayo missed this season's first five games with a knee injury, but it's unclear if the injury bothering him now is related to that earlier absence. Promising rookie seventh-round pick Tae Crowder would likely see an uptick in playing time if Mayo's out or limited Sunday.

  • Returns from injured reserve

    Mayo (knee) was activated off injured reserve Friday, Michael Elsen of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old missed the first five games of the season after undergoing surgery to address a torn meniscus he suffered in late August, but he's poised to make his season debut Sunday. Mayo had 82 tackles and two sacks in 16 games for New York last season and should step into a significant role in the linebacker rotation.

  • Back at practice

    Mayo (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: This is huge news for the veteran, as he's missed the first four games of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus he suffered in training camp. It's unclear when Mayo will be able to return, but now that he's back at practice, the Giants have 21 days to active him off injured reserve. In the meantime, Blake Martinez and Devante Downs are expected to continue to start at inside linebacker.

  • Shifts to IR

    The Giants placed Mayo (knee) on injured reserve Sunday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Mayo suffered a torn meniscus during training camp, so this transaction was an expected move by the club. The veteran will be a tough loss to begin the season, as he recorded 82 tackles and two sacks in 16 games (13 starts) for the Giants last season. Mayo is now ruled out for the first eight weeks of the season at least, so in his stead, look for Tae Crowder to see a slight uptick in snaps at inside linebacker.

  • Suffers torn meniscus

    Mayo was diagnosed Wednesday with a torn meniscus in his knee, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Mayo, who is scheduled for surgery Thursday, was one of two significant defenders the Giants lost to injuries this week, as rookie safety Xavier McKinney is slated to go under the knife later Wednesday to address a broken foot. The linebacker recorded 82 tackles and two sacks in 16 games (13 starts) for the Giants last season, playing 56.9 percent of defensive snaps. Vacchiano believes Mayo eventually will be placed on injured reserve, which would rule him out for the first eight weeks of the…read more

  • Inks three-year extension

    Mayo agreed to a three-year extension with the Giants on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After playing his first four seasons with the Panthers, Mayo moved on to the Giants in 2019. He played in all 16 games, including 13 starts, and accumulated 82 tackles (52 solo) in the process. The 26-year-old also tallied two sacks and two passes defended. He looks on track to again start at inside linebacker in the 2020 season.

  • Career-high tackles in 2019

    Mayo notched 82 tackles (52 solo), two sacks, two defended passes and one fumble recovery across 16 games in 2019.

    Analysis: Mayo produced in a rotational role during his debut campaign in New York. He'd previously spent four straight seasons as a depth option with the Panthers. It remains to be seen if the Giants will retain the unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

    Mayo logged seven tackles (four solo) and a pass breakup in Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Bears.
