It appeared for a moment that Drake Maye’s day against the Chargers would come to an end after one possession.
The Patriots quarterback departed Saturday’s game in the first quarter with a head injury, with the team ruling him as questionable to return. But after Maye went to the locker room and missed New England’s second drive of the game, he re-emerged from the locker room late in the first quarter and returned for the team’s third drive of the game.
Jerod Mayo told NFL Network’s Steve Wyche that Maye cleared concussion protocol, allowing him to return.
