Mike Vrabel is not worried about Drake Maye's right throwing shoulder, the New England Patriots head coach said Thursday. "I try not to have a whole lot of concern," Vrabel told reporters. "I just want to try to prepare the football team and make sure that everybody's ready and that we all have a plan."
As the Patriots prepared for their first practice ahead of Super LX, the team released a projected injury report Wednesday, with Maye listed as limited. The second-year quarterback didn't answer directly about whether he's dealing with a right shoulder injury during a Tuesday radio interview on WEEI.
"I'm feeling good," Maye repeated. "Going to get some extra rest. I really don't think it was from the game, but just the build-up from throwing — this is what, including training camp, 30 weeks straight of throwing, four days a week. It can add up. I got some extra rest, and I'm feeling good and ready to go for the Super Bowl."

Had the Patriots practiced Wednesday, linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle) and edge rusher Harold Landry (knee) would have joined Maye in not participating.
Following Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos, Maye said, "A lot of those guys in [our] locker room are battling through things." Vrabel echoed that sentiment Tuesday, saying no one is 100% healthy this time of year.
Behind Maye on the depth chart is veteran backup Joshua Dobbs, as well as former New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito.
While there are 10 days to go until the Patriots and Seattle Seahawks meet at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, there will be a lot of attention on Maye in practice, on how many reps he takes and what designation he's given on the team's injury report ahead of Super Bowl LX.
