Maye completed 27 of 43 passes for 295 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Sunday's 29-13 loss in the Super Bowl to the Seahawks. He added five rushes for 37 yards and also lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if a nagging shoulder injury impacted Maye's performance, but he was stymied by Seattle's defense for the vast majority of Super Bowl 60. He had 60 passing yards through three quarters, and his most meaningful contribution to the game came on consecutive passes early in the final quarter, with the Patriots down three scores, when he found Mack Hollins for gains of 24 and 35 yards -- the latter of which went for a touchdown. Maye's performance was otherwise dominated by negative plays, as he was sacked six times for a loss of 43 yards, and he also turned the ball over three times - two of which led directly to touchdowns for the Seahawks. Though it was a disappointing close to the season, Maye had a breakout sophomore campaign by posting a 31:8 TD:INT while averaging 8.9 yards per attempt across 17 regular-season games.

Maye (right shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks.
EDGE Analysis
During the first week of Super Bowl prep, Maye was listed as limited last Wednesday and Thursday due to a right shoulder injury that he suffered in the AFC Championship Game win at Denver. He then missed practice last Friday before the Patriots listed him as questionable. However, Maye put together three consecutive full sessions this week, clearing him for the final contest of his second campaign. Through three playoff victories so far, he completed 43 of 77 passes for 533 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed 24 times for 141 yards and one TD and fumbled six times (three lost).

Maye (right shoulder) practiced fully Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Maye tended to a right shoulder injury after the Patriots' win in the AFC Championship Game at Denver that left him listed as limited last Wednesday and Thursday. He then missed Friday's practice due to an illness and emerged from the first week of Super Bowl LX prep with a questionable designation. After throwing "a good bit" Monday, Maye told Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, "I feel good. I'll be just fine." With an uncapped session to begin this week, Maye has backed up his statement and thus is set to lead the Patriots offense Sunday versus the Seahawks.

Maye (shoulder) said he threw "a good bit" Monday and indicated that he "felt great," Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was deemed questionable on last Friday's injury report due to both a right shoulder issue and an illness, though there have been no suggestions that the star quarterback is at any risk of missing Super Bowl LX this Sunday versus Seattle. He indicated Monday that he threw as much as he would in a typical practice and that he came out of the session with no concerns, emphasizing that he'll "be fine" for the title game. Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels echoed that sentiment, saying that Maye won't have any limitations placed on him as a result of the shoulder issue, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston. Maye logged an LP/LP/DNP practice progression last week, but his absence Friday was attributed primarily to the illness he was dealing with. His participation level in practice this week will provide more insight into the extent (if any) that the shoulder issue will be managed.

Maye (right shoulder/illness) is listed as questionable for Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
EDGE Analysis
With one week of Super Bowl prep in the books, Maye capped it with a missed practice Friday due to an illness, which followed back-to-back limited listings due to a right shoulder injury. The second issue mostly has been downplayed by coach Mike Vrabel and Maye himself, but his status still bears watching now that he's dealing with multiple health concerns. The Patriots won't post another injury report until next Wednesday, at which point Maye's availability for the final game of the season could have more clarity.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said Maye did not practice Friday due to a combination of illness and his right shoulder injury, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye managed a limited practice session Thursday, which included taking part in throwing drills, but his activity level has now been downgraded due to the addition of an ailment. He was also listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Vrabel confirmed that if not for his new illness, Maye would have taken part in practice Friday, per Taylor Kyles of CLNSMedia.com. As such, it doesn't appear that there's any reason for elevated worry about Maye's health after Vrabel stated Thursday that there's "not much" concern about the status of the starting quarterback's shoulder. New England will have one more full week of practice to ramp up Maye's rep count in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.

Maye (shoulder) is not present at the early portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was officially listed as limited at Thursday's practice, as well as on Wednesday's estimated report, though when speaking Thursday head coach Mike Vrabel said there's "not much" concern about the starting quarterback's right shoulder injury. After Thursday's session, Maye said he did take part in throwing drills and is "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out," seemingly indicating New England's plan is for him to ramp up his activity level next week in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks. The release of Friday's official injury report will confirm whether or not Maye was able to get in any on-field reps.

Maye (right shoulder) was limited at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Maye emerged from Sunday's win in the AFC Championship Game at Denver with a right shoulder injury, and while he wasn't seen throwing during the open portion of Thursday's session, per Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston, the second-year quarterback told Mike Kadlick of CLNSMedia.com afterward that he did throw and that he's "looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out." The Patriots' Super Bowl LX matchup with the Seahawks is still 10 days away on Sunday, Feb. 8, giving Maye plenty of time to get as close to 100 percent as possible.

Maye (shoulder) did not participate in throwing drills during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Maye was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a right shoulder issue and seems destined for a similar designation Thursday. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Thursday that there's "not much" concern about Maye's shoulder injury, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, and Ben Volin of The Boston Globe reports that Vrabel confirmed the issue was sustained during Sunday's 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship Game. New England may simply intend to use the first half of their two-week practice period in advance of Super Bowl LX against the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8 to allow their key starters some rest. If Maye doesn't begin to ramp up his activity level at practice Friday, expect him to do so next week.

Maye was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report due to a right shoulder injury.
EDGE Analysis
During New England's three-game run to Super Bowl LX, Maye has taken an NFL-leading 15 sacks, which may have contributed to a below-average 55.8 completion percentage so far in the playoffs (down from a league-high 72 percent from the regular season). Still, he put up 533 passing yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions, rushed 24 times for 141 yards and one TD and fumbled six times (three lost) during that span. Maye appears to be tending to some residual wear and tear as a result, but his status will continue to be watched during the Patriots' two-week ramp-up period for a matchup with the Seahawks on Sunday, Feb. 8.
