Patriots quarterback Drake Maye buzzed his head for a good cause on Tuesday, but his injured throwing shoulder, which gave him trouble during the 2025 NFL playoffs, shouldn’t be a problem for the upcoming season.
“Shoulder’s feeling good, feeling great,” Maye said, via the Boston Globe. “Just having some time off, being able to get back into throwing and lifting.”
Maye suffered the injury to his right throwing shoulder during the AFC Championship Game against the Denver Broncos but was able to finish off the Patriots’ victory. It appeared to still affect him in the Super Bowl LX loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Maye told reporters, after a game in which he had three turnovers and took six sacks, that he required a pain-killing injection beforehand.
No surgery is expected to be needed, with Maye saying Tuesday that he is on the mend.
