FOXBORO, Mass. — All eyes are on New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye after he appeared on the team’s projected injury report.

According to the listing, if the Patriots had practiced on Wednesday, Maye would not have been a full participant, instead “limited” due to a right shoulder injury.

The team did not practice, so how Maye is feeling — and whether the injury is a concern — should become clearer on Thursday.

Both the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks were required to submit projected injury reports ahead of their upcoming practices. We’re also expecting to hear from head coach Mike Vrabel and Maye later today, which could provide more clarity on his status.

Despite the injury question, excitement is building as the countdown continues — just 10 days to go until the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.
