Patriots QB Drake Maye Questionable to Return After Suffering Ankle Injury Against Lions
Maye left after a sack and went to the locker room, while backup Tommy DeVito took over for New England.
On Sunday, November 15, 2026, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye sustained an ankle injury in Munich, Germany, during the first quarter against the Detroit Lions and is questionable to return.
Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson sacked Maye on third down in the red zone, but Hutchinson also injured himself while celebrating the play with a knee injury.
Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito replaced Maye under center for New England as the Lions held a 7-3 lead when the injury occurred; DeVito previously played for the New York Giants.
This setback is significant for New England, which fell to 5-4 this season and is now tied with the Cleveland Browns for the AFC's final wild-card spot.
Across nine games in 2026, Maye has completed 65.4 percent of his passes for 2,282 yards and 18 touchdowns, though he entered this matchup leading the NFL with 11 interceptions.
