Drake Maye's season came to a close on Sunday, with the Patriots pulling the rookie after just one series against the Bills.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is dealing with a hand injury, but it hasn’t impacted him during practice sessions, according to coach Jerod Mayo. The Patriots plan to start Maye in Sunday’s season finale against the Buffalo Bills. They’ll be doing so at the risk of losing the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NFL draft.

As for the Patriots, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt said Drake Maye will start and could finish the game. Maye was listed on the team’s practice report with a new right hand injury, though the rookie all but cleared himself this week saying he felt “great.” The only question now is, how long will Maye play?
