New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who injured his right shoulder during the AFC championship game, took all of the team's first-team reps during a 90-minute practice at Stanford Stadium. Head coach Mike Vrabel said the team saved several elements of their game plan to keep players engaged and stimulated during practices in the Bay Area. Vrabel also worked hands-on with the team's interior defensive linemen to fine-tune their pass rush technique.
Why it matters
Maye's ability to fully participate in practice is a positive sign for the Patriots as they look to win their first Super Bowl title since 2019. The team is hoping to avoid the injury issues that plagued them in their last Super Bowl appearance.
