FOXBOROUGH — Drake Maye said his injured shoulder was feeling good on Thursday afternoon, but he was still a limited participant in New England’s first practice ahead of Super Bowl 60.
There were no throwing drills done during the media window at practice, but during his press conference, Maye said he did throw later in the session.
“We did a jog through, so I’m feeling good and looking forward to being ready to go,” Maye said. “This is the game you dream of playing, so looking forward to getting out there and playing in the Super Bowl.
“I’m just trying to do whatever I can to get back to 100%,” Maye added. “I think a lot of people in that locker room would say the same thing. Having a two-week break is nice to rest a little more and get to know the Seahawks as good as I can.”
One of the NFL’s best passers this season, Maye didn’t anticipate any lingering issues throwing the ball in Santa Clara.
“No, I don’t think so,” Maye said. “I think that’s why you spend time and why you have good trainers. It’s one of those things where it’s a long season, and sometimes things show up. I do whatever I can to feel 100%. I’m sure I’ll get, if not there, as close as you can, 99%. Make sure I’m throwing and do whatever I can to help the team win.”
Elsewhere on the practice field, the Patriots were missing Harold Landry (knee), Robert Spillane (ankle) and Thayer Munford (knee/illness). There were also a number of other limited participants beyond Maye: Mack Hollins (abdomen), Hunter Henry (rest), Morgan Moses (rest) and Terrell Jennings (hamstring).
Of the absentees, Spillane left the AFC Championship Game in the first quarter due to the ankle injury. Landry has been battling a knee injury for weeks and didn’t play last weekend. Munford has emerged as a valuable sixth offensive lineman for the Patriots, and played 21 offensive snaps in the win over Denver , but the combination of an illness and a knee injury he’s been managing since the Wild Card round sidelined him Thursday.
