Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told the media Thursday that he is not overly concerned about the quarterback's readiness for Super Bowl LX due to Drake May's shoulder injury.
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel told reporters earlier Thursday that he is "not too concerned" about Drake Maye's shoulder injury when it comes to the quarterback's availability for Super Bowl LX.
That’s been the consistent word out of New England all week, which Maye reiterated with his own comments in a Thursday presser.
"Yeah, I feel good," Maye said after the Patriots' practice Thursday."I'm out there, I'm feeling good today. I was able to run, I feel good and I'm looking forward to getting ready to play. This is the game you dream of playing, so we're looking forward to going out there and getting a chance to play in the Super Bowl."
Although New England did not practice Wednesday, Maye is listed as limited on the team's estimate report.It is unclear whether he will be listed as limited or full on Thursday, but Maye told reporters he attended and used today's session.
"I will do everything in my power to get back to 100%," said May."I think a lot of people in that locker room would say the same thing. Two weeks off is a good idea to get some rest and come back and get to know the Seahawks as well as possible. And from there, I'm looking forward to going out to practice and trying to convey that to the live game staff."
May does not expect the injury to affect his performance against Seattle next Sunday.
"No, I don't think so," May said."That's why you spend time, that's why you have coaches. I think it's been one of those long seasons, sometimes things come up and I'm going to do my best to feel 100 percent. I'm sure if he's not there, I'm going to be as close as I can -- 99 [percent] or I'm going to do what I can and help the team."I will."
May, an AP 2025 MVP finalist, has completed 56 percent of his passes for 533 yards and four touchdowns and two interceptions in three postseason games.He also rushed for 141 yards with a TD.
