As the New England Patriots prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, the big question is about the shoulder injury for Drake Maye.

Rumors swirled that Maye suffered. shoulder injury in the Patriots’ 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos at Empower Field in Denver, Colorado.

On Thursday, Maye cleared the air on those concerns during his media availability.

“I’m feeling good,” Maye said. “Feeling good and looking forward to being able to go. This is the game you dream of playing in. So looking forward to getting out there and getting a chance to play in the Super Bowl.”

The Patriots did not hold a practice on Wednesday, so the injury report was an estimation.

But Maye was listed there with a shoulder issue.

On Tuesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said, “There’s not a player on our team that’s 100% healthy,” although he didn’t specifically address Maye’s injury much.

Maye did throw during practice on Thursday, which is a promising sign for any such injury concern.

At the end of the day, Maye should play in Super Bowl 60, barring a surprising change over the next week.

Super Bowl LX is on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
