New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was present for the start of practice on Thursday, where he assumed his usual position leading off quarterback drills.
Maye’s increased involvement may have been a sign of the rookie progressing through the NFL’s five stage concussion protocol. On Wednesday, Maye appeared to be in Phase 3 as he was limited to less than 30 minutes of work. He was then not spotted during the first two periods of practice open to the media, unlike on Thursday.
