Patriots' Vrabel 'not' too worried about QB Maye's shoulder
"Maye and fellow quarterbacks Joshua Dobbs and Tommy DeVito didn't throw the football in the portions of practice open to media members. That was a change in routine for the team from most Thursday practices during the season. Maye had been listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report after landing on his right shoulder while being tackled by Denver Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga on a 13-yard run in the third quarter of the AFC Championship Game. The limited designation means he took at least one less repetition than he normally would as the starter, but it doesn't specify how many."
"Maye also previously downplayed any injury concerns, noting the extra week to prepare for Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 8 as a good stretch to get healthy. He said Tuesday in his weekly radio interview that he's already had extra rest and is feeling good. Maye was scheduled to address reporters after Thursday's practice, which was focused on the first- and second-down plan and held in the team's indoor facility."
