Patriots QB Drake Maye (head) questionable to return against Jets

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is questionable to return Sunday’s match against the Jets after leaving the game with a head injury.

Maye went to the locker room while the Patriots offense was off the field early in the second quarter. On the previous drive, which ended in a Patriots field goal, Maye was late on an 18-yard scramble near the end of the first quarter.

The rookie stayed in the game after his first-down run, passing the ball twice (the first of which was nullified by a penalty), taking a sack and throwing an incompletion on third down before the Patriots punted.

Jacoby Brissett entered the game for Maye on the Patriots’ next possession midway through the second quarter. The Jets were 13-7 at the time Maye was listed as questionable to return.

Maye opened the scoring Sunday in Foxborough with a 17-yard touchdown run to cap New England’s second drive of the game. He went 3-of-6 for 23 yards and produced 46 rushing yards before his early exit.
