Oct 27, 2024; Foxborough, Massachusetts, USA; New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye (10) throws a pass against the New York Jets in the first quarter at Gillette Stadium. Mandatory Credit: David Butler II-Imagn Images Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye will not return to New England's meeting with the visiting New York Jets on Sunday due to a head injury.
Maye was originally listed as questionable after sustaining the injury on an 18-yard scramble in the final minute of the first quarter. Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood made helmet-to-helmet contact with Maye on a hit from behind as the quarterback slid.
Maye finished the drive, but Jacoby Brissett took over under center for New England on its next possession.
Right as halftime started, Patriots coach Jerod Mayo told CBS that Maye would not be coming back.
Prior to exiting, Maye completed 3 of 6 passes for 23 yards. He also rushed for 46 yards and a touchdown on three carries.
The 22-year-old Maye, selected third overall by the Patriots in this year's draft, was making his third career start on Sunday.
