Original story 11/15/2026: Drake Maye departs Lions game with ankle injury
Drake Maye suffered an injury on the New England Patriots’ first drive of their Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions. While he did get up fairly quickly after an Aidan Hutchinson sack on third down, he departed to the blue medical tent on the next
series and later the locker room.
The Patriots announced that he would be questionable to return to the game with an ankle injury.
Maye, 24, is in his third season with the Patriots. He had started all nine of the team’s games so far this season, playing 96% of offensive snaps and going 178-for-272 for 2,282 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Against the Lions, he began the game 3-for-4 for 48 yards plus the aforementioned sack.
Tommy DeVito entered the game for the Patriots’ next drive, a series that went five plays and ended in a punt. DeVito completed one 4-yard pass during his first series.
