Drake Maye’s Injury Update: Insider Provides Latest Details

The New England Patriots kicked off the Drake Maye era with an eventful start. In his debut as a starter, the team suffered a loss, and he turned the ball over three times. Nevertheless, he showcased some encouraging moments.

Fans may understandably feel anxious upon seeing his unexpected inclusion on the injury report. Reports indicate that the No. 3 overall pick is grappling with a knee injury and has undergone an MRI. According to Phil Perry, the team has acknowledged the MRI but appears unconcerned about the injury (via Savage).

It remains unclear whether the injury occurred during practice or in the game against the Houston Texans, as well as the severity of the condition. Regardless, Perry states that he is anticipated to play and start in the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

In his brief starting appearance, Maye managed to throw for three touchdowns, surpassing Jacoby Brissett’s two touchdowns for the entire season, providing a much-needed boost to the offense. He completed the game with 243 passing yards and three touchdowns, but also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble.

Despite this, he faced serious pressure, being hit eight times and sacked four times, raising ongoing concerns about the Patriots’ inconsistent offensive line throughout the season. Fans are hopeful that the injury will not be serious, allowing the promising rookie to participate fully in the game in London.
