Patriots' Drake Maye: Carried to win by defense
Drake Maye completed 15 of 25 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. He added 24 rushing yards on four carries.The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft got the better of Caleb Williams, the first overall pick, in their first career meeting, but neither rookie quarterback sparkled. Maye did account for the only TD of the game however, finding Ja'Lynn Polk for a two-yard score late in the second quarter to put the New England Patriots in the lead for good. Maye has a 7:5 TD:INT in five games since taking over the starting job at QB, and he'll look to take advantage of a better matchup in Week 11 at home against the Rams.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Solid numbers despite miscues
Drake Maye completed 29 of 41 passes for 206 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans. He added eight rushes for 95 yards and lost a fumble.Maye played his part in a sloppy game, losing a fumble that gave the Titans a short field to record the go-ahead touchdown and also throwing the game-clinching pick. On the other hand, he also continued to flash moments of brilliance, highlighted by a five-yard touchdown pass to tie the game as time expired, during which he evaded pressure for several seconds and made the throw as he was being taken to the ground. The majority of his other playmaking came with his legs by tallying long scrambles of 26 and 22 yards. Maye's performance remains inconsistent, but he has shown the ability to lead New England's offense effectively and has been a strong fantasy contributor in the first three starts of his career.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Clears concussion protocol
Drake Maye has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.As a result, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft -- who had been listed as questionable after sustaining a concussion last weekend against the Jets -- is line to make his fourth straight start for the New England Patriots on Sunday, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site. With Maye under center, New England's passing game has been able to pick up the pace, but the rookie out of North Carolina profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option while facing the Titans, who head into Week 9 action allowing a league-low 151.6 passing yards per game.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Questionable for Sunday
Drake Maye (concussion) officially is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Tennessee.Maye was able to handle limited work in all three practices during Week 9 prep, giving him a chance to miss no time as a result of the concussion he sustained this past Sunday against the Jets. Having said that, he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up this weekend. At the latest, Maye's status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Jacoby Brissett is on hand to start if Maye doesn't pass through the protocol for head injuries.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Limited again, may still play Sunday
Head coach Jerod Mayo said that Drake Maye (concussion) will be a limited participant in Friday's practice, but the New England Patriots haven't yet ruled the quarterback out from playing in Sunday's game against the Titans, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.Mayo added that Maye remains in the concussion protocol, after the rookie quarterback suffered the head injury on a helmet-to-helmet hit during this past Sunday's win over the Jets. Though Maye was cleared to practice Wednesday as a limited participant, he has yet to increase his activity in the two days that have followed. The Patriots are likely to list Maye as questionable or doubtful for the Week 9 contest when they release their final injury report later Friday, and though Mayo is leaving the door open for the 22-year-old to play Sunday, Jacoby Brissett is probably trending toward starting against the Titans at this point in the week.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Another limited practice
Drake Maye (concussion) remained limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.Back-to-back limited sessions set the stage for what Maye is able to do at practice Friday to loom large in terms of his chances of facing the Titans on Sunday. If the QB is unable to progress fully through the NFL's concussion protocol before then, however, Jacoby Brissett would be in line to draw the start against Tennessee.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Set for limited practice
Drake Maye (concussion) will be a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the New England Patriots' official site reports.Head coach Jerod Mayo confirmed that Maye is still in concussion protocol, with the quarterback slated to do some throwing at Wednesday's practice. Maye's involvement in the Patriots' first Week 9 practice session provides hope that he could be available Sunday against the Titans, but the young signal-caller will still need to clear all five steps of the protocol for that to happen. If Maye is not active this weekend, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald notes that Joe Milton would back up Jacoby Brissett in Week 9.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Done for day with concussion
Drake Maye was diagnosed with a concussion after exiting in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets and has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest.Maye appeared to suffer the head injury when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit during a scramble on the New England Patriots' third possession. Though he stayed in the game for the remainder of the drive, he gave way to backup Jacoby Brissett on the Patriots' next possession while he headed to the locker room for a concussion test. Brissett will now direct the New England offense for the rest of the day, while Joe Milton -- who is inactive as the emergency third quarterback -- will be the next man up for reps if Brissett is forced to leave the game early. Maye completed three of six pass attempts for 23 yards and carried three times for 46 yards and a touchdown prior to his departure.

Patriots' Drake Maye: Another encouraging start
Drake Maye completed 26 of 37 passes for 276 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars. He added three rushes for 18 yards.Maye got off to an impressive start, leading a touchdown drive on the New England Patriots' first possession while going 6-for-7 with 62 yards and a passing score. However, both he and the offense stalled from there until early in the fourth quarter, when Maye led a second scoring drive during which he completed five of six passes for 97 yards and another touchdown. Even during the unproductive stretches of the contest, Maye showed improvement from his first NFL start by not turning the ball over. While he'll seek more consistency as he gains more experience, Maye has had an encouraging start to his career.
