That suggests the illness may have been the reason for the downgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s not something New England wants to deal with in the biggest week of its season.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that last Friday&#8217;s practice was still nine days from the Super Bowl. The two-week gap between conference championship games and the big game has helped the Patriots and Maye out here.<\/p>\n<p>Maye was hurt on a tackle that drove his right arm into the ground against the Denver Broncos in the snowy 10-7 AFC Championship Game win.<\/p>\n<p>He and his head coach, Mike Vrabel, have both downplayed the injury when asked about it.<\/p>\n<p>You can bet they&#8217;ll be asked about it again, because there&#8217;s a world where that shoulder acts up too much and Joshua Dobbs is playing QB for the Patriots in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s far from the most likely outcome, it seems, but it&#8217;ll be something that everyone is tracking this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The week is finally here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42799","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 -
