He appeared on \u201cWEEI Afternoons\u201d on Tuesday, where the host asked whether he had experienced any shoulder issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m feeling good,\u201d Maye said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got some extra rest, and I\u2019m feeling good and ready to go for the Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drake Maye joined <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WEEIAfternoons?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WEEIAfternoons<\/a> to discuss the talk of a potential shoulder injury:<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m feeling good&#8230; We&#39;ve got some extra rest, and I&#39;m feeling good and ready to go for the Super Bowl.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Could he be limited in practice or the game?<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I think it&#39;s too early to say.&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XazYC2T7IY\">pic.twitter.com\/XazYC2T7IY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WEEI (@WEEI) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WEEI\/status\/2016235504438542553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 27, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Maye\u2019s injury speculation began on Monday when David J. Chao, known as ProFootballDoc on X, started discussing his belief that Maye had hurt his right shoulder on Sunday. He didn\u2019t speculate on how severe the injury was, but from watching the film, he thinks there probably was one.<\/p>\n<p>Maye knows his body better than anyone else, and he probably would have mentioned something if there was an issue with his shoulder. NFL teams can\u2019t hide injuries, as they have to report them on the practice report when required.<\/p>\n<p>The good news for Maye is that the Super Bowl isn\u2019t until Feb.8, giving him a full two weeks without playing. He can use this time to rest his shoulder and any other aches, ensuring he\u2019s fully prepared for the big day.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye spoke about a potential shoulder injury following the AFC Championship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Patriots&#039;
