Drake Maye, a quarterback rookie for the Patriots was taken off the field against the Charges after he sustained an injury a helmet-to-helmet hit with defensive back Cam Hart.
The Patriots quarterback went over bound before he took the hit which was not penalized by officials.
The Chargers extended their winning to 7-0 not too long after with a great touchdown catch by Derius Davis. Jacoby Brissett, a Patriots backup quarterback came in as a substitute for the injured Maye on the next drive. Maye appeared to have suffered a concussion, making it the second time he will be sustaining an head injury this season while the Patriots had not made any official statement about ruling out the quarterback.
Drake Maye’s rookie season has been a good one since the took the starting time from Brissett but constant head injuries is something to worry about for the Patriots and the quarterback. It is very uncertain if Patriots will rush Maye back as the team is currently out of playoff contention and Maye’s long-term health critical to the franchise’s future.
It all seems that the season maybe ending for Maye as all signs suggests so as the team prioritizes his well-being and recovery and prepare for the next line of actions in their rebuilding efforts.
