Overview
- The initial Super Bowl game-status report lists Drake Maye as questionable because of a right shoulder issue and an illness.
- Maye was limited on Thursday and did not practice on Friday, and Mike Vrabel said he would have participated if not sick.
- Backup Josh Dobbs handled first-team snaps on Friday and said he prepares to start if needed.
- Maye delivered career highs this season with 4,394 passing yards and 31 touchdowns and led the NFL with a 72.0% completion rate, but the Patriots' offense has lagged in the playoffs.
- Tommy DeVito is the third quarterback as New England monitors practice participation ahead of facing Seattle on Feb. 8 at Levi's Stadium.
