PALO ALTO, Calif.\u00a0\u2013 New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was a full participant in Wednesday\u2019s practice as the team resumed its on-field preparations for Super Bowl LX against Seattle.<\/p>\n
The second-year quarterback, who injured his right shoulder during the AFC championship game, took all of the team\u2019s first-team reps during a 90-minute practice at Stanford Stadium. He had told reporters earlier in the week that he was \u201cfeeling good\u201d and that certainly appeared to be the case as the team worked through seven-on-seven and full-squad drills in full shoulder pads.<\/p>\n
While the team installed much of its game plan during practices last week in Foxborough, head coach Mike Vrabel said his staff saved several elements of that plan so they would have new information to present to players in meetings and practices here in the Bay Area. This was a suggestion from offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who is coaching in his 10th Super Bowl as a member of the Patriots\u2019 staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one has more experience than Josh with this, and he felt like that we needed to do something to keep them engaged and stimulated, so they weren\u2019t looking at some things for the second or third time,\u201d Vrabel said.<\/p>\n
Vrabel is taking that engagement literally. After practice ended, Vrabel pulled a group of interior defensive linemen aside for extra instruction. Vrabel even got down into a three-point stance to work with defensive tackle Cory Durden on pass rush technique.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re now talking about 36 hours being critical here, before people come in, friends and obligations that come with this game,\u201d Vrabel said.<\/p>\n
Team owners Robert and Jonathan Kraft arrived at Stanford with legendary Patriots receiver Julian Edelman. Like McDaniels, those three men are quite familiar with the Super Bowl preparation process, but it\u2019s all new for most of Vrabel\u2019s squad. No Patriot remains on the roster from their last Super Bowl and only five players on the current roster have prior Super Bowl experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve got some things to clean up, and then we\u2019ve got to forge ahead,\u201d Vrabel said. \u201cWe want to continue to keep the energy and the enthusiasm, but the execution is going to end up really helping us win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maye was listed on the team\u2019s first injury report with the shoulder, but as a full participant.<\/p>\n
Linebacker Robert Spillane was the only Patriots player who did not participate as he continues to recover from an ankle injury he suffered in the AFC title game in Denver. Linebacker Harold Landry was listed as a limited participant with a knee injury.<\/p>\n
Other players listed on the injury report were backup offensive lineman Thayer Munford Jr. (limited, knee) and defensive tackle Joshua Farmer (full participant, hamstring.) Farmer remains on the injured reserved list but has been designed to return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PALO ALTO, Calif.\u00a0\u2013 New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was a full participant in Wednesday\u2019s practice as the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730280,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2050],"tags":[95040,833,7,6441,838,1167,249,2326,2094,6,835,832,208,836,834,831,837,41484,23840,16165,103731],"class_list":{"0":"post-730279","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-england-patriots","8":"tag-2026-super-bowl","9":"tag-drake-maye","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-josh-mcdaniels","12":"tag-mike-vrabel","13":"tag-new-england","14":"tag-new-england-patriots","15":"tag-newengland","16":"tag-newenglandpatriots","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-nfl-news","19":"tag-nfl-rumors","20":"tag-patriots","21":"tag-patriots-2025","22":"tag-patriots-news","23":"tag-patriots-rumors","24":"tag-robert-kraft","25":"tag-super-bowl-2026","26":"tag-super-bowl-60","27":"tag-super-bowl-lx","28":"tag-super-bowl-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116015778502942926","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730279\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730280"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
