The\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0entered the\u00a0offseason\u00a0with the heartbreak of a tough Super Bowl loss to the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, hopes are high with the\u00a0arrivals\u00a0of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs to help\u00a0Drake Maye\u00a0get back to the biggest game of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s why, with a little over three months left to kick-offs, the Patriots can’t take unnecessary risks with their star quarterback. Considering that, head coach Mike Vrabel decided to cut practice short on the third day of mandatory minicamp, as Maye got a bit too roughed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Patriots cut practice short after Drake Maye injury scare<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The important part is that Maye is out of harm’s way, and he’ll have a bit over a month to get back to full strength after OTAs and minicamp. There’s absolutely no reason to risk further injury with the franchise quarterback, or any other player for that matter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Patriots will face a first-place schedule after dealing with a somewhat easier road to the playoffs last season, and they’ll be under a ton of pressure to prove that last year’s success wasn’t a fluke. And after finishing second in MVP voting, Maye should be extremely motivated to take his game to the next level in Year 3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
