New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is officially cleared to play in Super Bowl LX after practicing as a full participant for a third straight day, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Maye had been dealing with a right shoulder injury but carries no injury designation heading into Sunday’s championship game.
The rookie quarterback’s availability is a massive boost for the New England Patriots as they prepare for the season's final matchup. Maye has been the focal point of the team’s postseason run, and his health remained the most watched storyline in the days leading up to the game. By participating fully in every practice session this week, Maye has demonstrated to the coaching staff and medical personnel that the shoulder issue will not limit his performance on the field.
With no game designation listed on the final injury report, Maye is expected to take his normal workload without any physical restrictions. This ensures the Patriots will have their starting signal-caller under center as they seek to secure another title. The team had been monitoring his progress closely throughout the week, but three consecutive days of full activity have removed any lingering doubt regarding his status for the big game.
