Overview
- New England officially lists Maye as questionable with a right-shoulder complaint and a recent illness, though he told reporters he expects to play.
- Maye said he "threw a good bit" Monday after being limited in practice midweek and missing Friday, with plans to take regular reps Wednesday through Friday.
- The shoulder issue stems from a hard landing on a third-quarter scramble in the AFC Championship Game, where he ran for 65 yards and scored in a 10-7 win at Denver.
- His breakout season featured 4,394 passing yards, 31 touchdowns, eight interceptions, a league-best completion rate, AP second-team All-Pro honors and PFWA Most Improved Player.
- In the playoffs his rushing has been pivotal as turnovers and deep-ball efficiency dipped, fueling debate as Cam Newton downplayed his impact while Maye publicly praised Aaron Rodgers.
