New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is ready for the 2026-2026 NFL season after sustaining a shoulder injury ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl.
“My shoulder’s feeling great,” Maye, 23, told sports reporter Kay Adams during his training camp on Friday, July 31. “I think that was a bummer way to end the last game.”
The NFL star suffered an injury during the AFC championship game in January after stiff-arming Denver Broncos linebacker Jonah Elliss during the fourth quarter, a move that helped secure his team’s spot in Super Bowl LX.
“I’m feeling good. I’m feeling good. We’re gonna get some extra rest, and really the only thing that’s from the game, I think just the build up of throwing for, this is what, almost, including training camp, 30 weeks straight of throwing and four days a week,” Maye said during a press conference afterward, addressing his health. “It can add up. But I’ve got some extra rest. I’m feeling good, and yeah, ready to go for the Super Bowl.”

“I think keeping the main thing the main thing, and that’s, you know, my family, my faith and playing this game of football,” he said on Friday of his pride in returning for his third season on the gridiron. “I think having my family and my wife at home, we really tried to [stay humble]. It’s just been a nature of who we are, and being from the South,[it’s] saying, ‘Yes ma’am’ and ‘No ma’am’ and just not lose sight of who I am. I think that’s what gets you places where you want to go in life.”
