FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts and notes around the New England Patriots and NFL:
1. OL and Maye: Rookie quarterback Drake Maye's second preseason stint ended with a painful thud when Eagles outside linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. crunched him from the blind side in a high-impact collision. Smith's momentum resulted in him landing on top of Maye.
On what was mostly a promising night for No. 3 pick in the draft, the play provided a reminder of one of the lingering questions for the Patriots as they consider when they might be comfortable turning things over to him.
