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.
