New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye suffered an ankle injury during the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions in Germany and will not return, according to the team.

Maye was injured after being sacked by Lions defensive lineman Aidan Hutchinson, who was also hurt on the play.

He was ruled out just before the start of half time. Maye was seen limping toward the locker room towards the end of the first quarter.

The Patriots turned to backup quarterback Tommy DeVito following Maye’s injury.
