During Super Bowl LX Opening Night, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye shared he took a normal amount of throws in the team’s 90-minute on-field work at Stanford University at Monday.
“I’m feeling good. I’ll be just fine,” Maye said with a wink. “I threw a good bit. I threw as much as I would at a normal practice. I felt great and looking forward to getting back out there Wednesday and Thursday for practice and Friday to get ready for a normal week of prep.”
After suffering a shoulder injury
in the AFC Championship Game, Maye was limited in practice last Thursday before missing Friday’s session with an additional illness.
At his podium Monday night in the San Jose Convention Center, Maye noted he started to feel better on Sunday and is also over the illness he dealt with.
“I think turned a corner landing on the flight,” he said. “Felt good from the flight and throwing out there today, I think it turned the corner. I really had no doubt being 100 percent for the game, this is the Super Bowl. We get two weeks to prepare for it and do whatever we got to do to get it right. And I’ve got confidence and feel good.”
Around opening night, Patriots’ offensive players also echoed Maye’s message that the quarterback looked good in practice. Head coach Mike Vrabel also thought his quarterback looked sharp.
“I thought it was a crisp practice for Drake and for everybody else,” Vrabel said.
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels shared he does not expect Maye to have any limitations this week in practice. The team will return to the practice field on Wednesday where their first injury report of the week will follow.
