Knee
September 5, 2010
Payne (knee) was placed on the IR on Saturday and will miss the entire 2010 season.
ANALYSIS
Payne, the Rams' primary back up at free safety, injured the knee during Thursday's final preseason game. Initial reports were that he was expected to just miss 4-to-6 weeks, but with the club having a hard time whittling their roster to 53, Payne's injury gave them some wiggle room and they took advantage of it.

Will be the third-string strong safety.
Payne will compete with Craig Dahl for the primary back-up role behind starting free safety O.J. Atogwe.
After a rookie year cut short by a broken arm, Payne emerged as a potential IDP superstar in his first full season as a starter and solidified a Bear secondary decimated by injuries. He closed out the year just shy of 90 tackles, with four interceptions and a sack. Now firmly entrenched as a starter, Payne could emerge as the sort of big-play threat in the secondary that the Bears have lacked since their last Super Bowl run.
Backup defensive back.
Payne, the Bears' fifth-round draft pick this year, will compete for playing time at the safety position. He has a decent chance of making the final roster if he also can contribute on special teams.
