FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Patriots rookie Drake Maye remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol on Wednesday, limiting his ability to practice for New England’s game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. If he can’t play, Jacoby Brissett will start at quarterback.
“(Maye) will throw the ball at times in practice, but he will be limited,” Coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday, when the team was required to release its first injury report since Maye took an unpenalized helmet-to-helmet hit in a victory last weekend over the New York Jets.
“There are people a lot smarter than me, as far as clearing people with concussions,” Mayo told reporters.
