Is Drake Maye Playing in Super Bowl 60? Latest Drake Maye Injury News for Seahawks vs Patriots

Drake Maye exited the AFC Championship Game less than 100% healthy, and was estimated to be a "limited" participant in a Patriots' practice report earlier this week due to an injured right shoulder.

How does Maye's injury impact the NFL odds ahead of his meeting with the Seahawks in the Big Game?

Let's take a look at the latest Drake Maye injury news ahead of Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8.

Is Drake Maye playing in Super Bowl LX?

Barring a surprise development on the injury report, yes.

Drake Maye finished the Broncos game after taking a hit to his right shoulder from Talanoa Hufanga following a 13-yard scramble late in the third quarter. He remained in the game, continued throwing without visible limitation, and now benefits from the longest rest window he's had all postseason.

When asked about the ailment by reporters on Thursday, Maye said, "I feel good. Got out there, moved around a good bit today, and went in to do some jog-throughs, so, feeling good."

Maye further downplayed the severity of the injury, telling the media, "I think it's just been one of those things where it's a long season. Sometimes, things show up. I'll do whatever I can to, you know, feel 100% and I'm sure I'll get if not there as close as I can or 99[%] or do whatever I can to make sure, I'm throwing and, like I said, do whatever I can to help the team win."

In three postseason games, Maye's performance has been on course with what we saw all season long. We've seen the good (five total touchdowns, including 141 rushing yards), and we've seen some of the bad (two interceptions and a lost fumble).

Nonetheless, Maye is still in complete control of the New England Patriots' offense and was first in completion percentage and passing yards per attempt, among other categories.

Who do I bet on if Drake Maye doesn't play?

This is where the drop-off is real.

If Maye were ruled out - again, unlikely - New England would turn to backup Joshua Dobbs. Dobbs has completed just 7 of 10 passes for 65 yards this season and has not started a game in 2024.

While he does have 15 career starts, none have come in a Super Bowl environment, and the Patriots' offensive structure is built specifically around Maye's arm talent and mobility.

A Dobbs start would:

• Trigger an immediate line move toward Seattle
• Push the full-game total downward
• Deflate Patriots passing and receiving props across the board

This would no longer be the same offense sportsbooks have priced all postseason.
