Patriots' QB Drake Maye Sees Shoulder Injury Clearing Up, Ready to Get Back to Action.
In a positive development for the New England Patriots and their fans, quarterback Drake Maye's shoulder injury appears to be on the mend. After being listed as "limited" in last week's injury report with a right shoulder injury, Maye was deemed a full participant in practice on Wednesday. The 23-year-old QB, who initially suffered the injury during the AFC championship game against the Broncos, appeared to have injured his shoulder while scrambling in the third quarter at Empower Field at Mile High.
Despite concerns that Maye's injury might impact his performance for the Super Bowl, he has expressed confidence that he will be ready to go. "I'll be just fine... I threw a good bit," Maye said on Super Bowl Opening Night. "I felt great, looking forward to getting back out there Wednesday and Thursday for practice again."
Maye's comments were backed up by his physical performance during practice on Monday, where he reported feeling no limitations. When asked if he would be limited in practice today, Maye replied, "I wasn't limited on Monday so I don't see any way I'd be limited today. I'm feeling good." He also stated that he had turned a corner and felt confident about being 100% for the Super Bowl.
However, not all Patriots are out of the woods yet. Linebacker Robert Spillane did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury that he initially suffered in the AFC title game.
