Patriots Announce Drake Maye’s Status For Titans Matchup
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is good to go.
Maye cleared concussion protocol on Saturday, the team announced.
New England also officially removed him from the injury report, meaning he will be available for Sunday’s matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was noncommittal this week when asked if the 22-year-old would start should he clear the protocol.
“I don’t want to get into if he gets cleared,” Mayo said, per team-provided transcript. “I mean, as you guys all know, that stuff can change in a single minute, so it’s difficult to get into that if he gets cleared… I don’t want to get into the hypotheticals. I will say this: look, if he can’t play, then we have enough confidence and faith in (Jacoby) that he’ll be able to step in and help us win a football game.”
It’ll be a huge surprise if Maye doesn’t start, so you can expect to see the rookie in Nashville on Sunday.
