Drake Maye suffers ankle injury in first quarter, questionable to return, team says
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter against the Detroit Lions and was listed as questionable to return.
Maye left for the locker room with an apparent limp, forcing New England to use Tommy DeVito at quarterback against Detroit.
Maye had started all 10 Patriots games that season and entered Sunday with 2,282 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and an NFL-leading 11 interceptions.
The Patriots entered the game at 5-4 and were tied with the Cleveland Browns for the AFC’s final wild-card spot, making Maye’s potential absence important to their playoff hopes.
