New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is scheduled to undergo imaging on his right shoulder to confirm the severity of an injury sustained during the postseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The update comes as the Patriots intensify their preparations for the upcoming Super Bowl LX matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. While Maye previously expressed optimism regarding the injury earlier this week, stating that his shoulder "feels good," the team is taking a cautious approach. According to the report from @RapSheet, the imaging is being conducted primarily to "make sure it's nothing major" before the team takes the field for the biggest game of the year.
Maye has been the focal point of the New England offense throughout their playoff run, and any potential setback would be a significant blow to the team's championship hopes. Team officials and fans alike are awaiting the results of the scans, which will determine his status for the final practices leading up to Sunday's kickoff. As of now, there is no indication that the Patriots are looking at alternative options under center, but the medical staff remains diligent.
