US EditionDrake Maye, Patriots Coaches Downplay Shoulder Injury Ahead of Super Bowl LX
Maye and Patriots coaches expect no limitations from his right shoulder injury sustained in AFC Championship, citing normal practice throws and recovery progress.
- On Monday at Super Bowl Opening Night, Maye said he threw as much as in a practice and felt great, despite being listed DNP last Friday for shoulder soreness and illness.
- After the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos, Maye credited the two-week break for aiding recovery, and coaches downplayed the injury.
- Coaches McDaniels, Grant, and Vrabel downplayed the shoulder issue and praised a crisp practice, with Maye saying he 'turned a corner' after landing on Sunday.
- Even if Maye is fully healthy, he will face Seattle Seahawks defense and his postseason statistics—55.8% completions, five turnovers, 84.0 passer rating—heighten the stakes.
- Maye said he plans to practice Wednesday and Thursday to prepare normally, with McDaniels warning that playoff opponents improve the longer you play.
