Patriots quarterback Drake Maye suffered an ankle injury at the end of the opening drive of Sunday’s game against the Lions in Germany. He didn’t return.
After the game, coach Mike Vrabel told reporters that Maye is expected to undergo additional tests.
Maye’s absence seemed to since the Patriots’ chances against the Lions. The offense was largely nonfunctional under Tommy DeVito.
Still, coach Mike Vrabel didn’t seem to think Maye would have made much of a difference against the Lions.
“We have a lot of things— it’s not— I don’t think Drake’s being in there or not would’ve really— I mean, it may have,” Vrabel said. “I would highly doubt it.”
The good news, if there is any, is that the Patriots are off in Week 11. The foilowing week, they face the Chargers in L.A.
