SAD NEWS: New England Patriots pray for No. 1 QB Drake Maye after doctors confirm his injury is more serious than expected
The New England Patriots are engulfed in concern just days after winning the AFC Championship, as the medical staff confirmed that quarterback Drake Maye’s injury is more serious than initially anticipated. The atmosphere of celebration quickly gave way to caution, with Super Bowl LX approaching and all eyes now fixed on Maye’s throwing shoulder.
Maye suffered the injury after a heavy collision in the AFC Championship Game. He missed Friday’s practice, was limited on Thursday, and would likely have been unable to participate had the team practiced on Wednesday. Those signs immediately sounded alarm bells inside the Patriots organization, even as the team continued to keep specific medical details private.

Head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged that Maye is dealing with pain in his throwing shoulder but attempted to calm public concern. “Player health is always the top priority,” Vrabel said. “We’re going to do what’s right for Drake and for the team.” Still, those reassurances have not fully eased the growing unease.
According to local media, only backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs and third-stringer Tommy DeVito were seen on the field during the most recent practice. Maye’s absence further fueled questions about the severity of the injury. “When your No. 1 quarterback isn’t practicing, every scenario has to be prepared for,” a team source noted.
The latest medical evaluations indicate that Maye’s condition requires close day-to-day monitoring. Even so, he has shown toughness and resolve. “I’m going to do everything I can to get back as close to 100% as possible,” Maye said. “The two-week break is a chance to recover and prepare the best I can for the Super Bowl.”

For the Patriots, this represents a potentially massive setback. Maye is the team’s starting quarterback and the cornerstone of its balanced offensive approach and overall rhythm. “When Drake is on the field, everything runs smoothly,” an assistant coach shared. Even a brief absence could alter the complexion of the biggest game of the season.
On the opposite sideline, the Seattle Seahawks are not without concern either, as quarterback Sam Darnold is playing through an oblique injury. Both quarterbacks will be closely monitored in the final days leading up to the Super Bowl. The entire Patriots organization and fan base have united in prayer and support, placing Drake Maye’s health and career above all else.
