Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was limited from practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion against the Jets over the weekend.
Maye slid to the ground at the end of the run when he suffered a blow to the back of the head, forcing him to leave the remainder of the match.
However, the rookie seemingly has a chance to return to the field this weekend as Patriots coach Jerod Mayo does told reporters which Maye will throw during Wednesday’s practice despite his head injury.
“There are people much smarter than me when it comes to cleaning up people with concussions, and we will lean on our medical professionals as well as the NFL league’s policies to get him ready to play,” Mayo said.
This weekend the Patriots face the Titans.

The hit on Maye was somewhat controversial, as he began to slide when Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood made helmet-to-helmet contact with him.
However, the game was not flagged.
Earlier in the game, Maye had rushed for a 17-yard touchdown – his first score of his young career.
