New England Patriots QB1 Drake Maye didn\u2019t train today due to illness, boss Mike Vrabel revealed.<\/p>\n
Drake\u2019s absence \u2013 9 days before New England will play against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX \u2013 happens at the same time he is managing a right shoulder problem he suffered during the AFC Championship Game last weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have had a lot of footballers during the past month and a half, with illness. So, again, we are doing the best for the player and for our organization. I will always take care of the health of our players and try to avoid the illness from spreading,\u201d the Pats head coach shared with the media.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, New England’s quarterback was a limited participant in training due to his shoulder. While the media was watching the Patriots\u2019 practice, Drake and the other QBs of the team did not throw.<\/p>\n
The Pats manager also claimed that Maye’s shoulder responded “favorably.”<\/p>\n
Drake has not missed training in the entire campaign before today. Drake was present at the facility earlier Friday and was part of meetings.<\/p>\n
New England footballers are scheduled to have a free day tomorrow before they travel to California at the end of the weekend.<\/p>\n
