The seriousness of the shoulder situation that precipitated second-year New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye to be a restricted follow participant final week remained a major speaking level when he sat down to talk with media members throughout the “Tremendous Bowl XL Opening Night time” festivities.
It seems like some relaxation is simply what Maye wanted.
Has Drake Maye improved since earlier than the weekend?
“I believe I turned a nook touchdown on the flight,” Maye mentioned about his shoulder, per Chris Mason of MassLive. “I felt good from the flight and throwing on the market as we speak, I believe it turned the nook, and I actually had little question in being one hundred pc for the sport. That is the Tremendous Bowl. We get two weeks to arrange for it and do no matter we obtained to do to get it proper. I’ve obtained confidence and really feel good.”
This previous Thursday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel insisted that Maye’s shoulder responded “favorably” earlier than the signal-caller missed Friday’s follow because of an sickness. Maye appeared to land on his throwing shoulder within the third quarter of New England’s 10-7 AFC Championship Sport win over the Denver Broncos, however neither he nor Vrabel has confirmed a brand new harm was suffered that afternoon.
Is Drake Maye dropping sleep over standing of shoulder?
As has been the case since final week, Maye and Vrabel each downplayed any shoulder-related storylines on Monday.
“I really feel good,” Maye continued. “I’ll be simply positive. I threw bit. I threw as a lot as I’d at a traditional follow. I felt nice and searching ahead to getting again on the market Wednesday and Thursday for follow once more, and Friday, and prepare for a traditional week of prep.”
Per Kevin Patra of the NFL’s web site, Vrabel added that he “thought it was a crisp follow for Drake and for everyone else” on Monday. In the meantime, Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels mentioned he doesn’t count on Maye shall be restricted throughout this coming Sunday’s matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks.
As of Tuesday morning, DraftKings Sportsbook continued to record the Patriots as 4.5-point underdogs for his or her Tremendous Bowl XL showdown in opposition to Seattle.
