Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was injured on the final play of New England’s first offensive possession today in Germany.
On a third-and-goal, Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson overthrew Maye and appeared to land on his legs. Maye was slow to get up but left the field on his own, and there was initially no indication he was seriously injured.
But early in the Patriots’ second drive, Maye limped to the locker room and backup Tommy DeVito came in to replace him. The Patriots said Maye was questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Hutchinson was also injured while celebrating Maye’s dismissal, and he is also currently in the locker room. The Lions said Hutchinson’s return from a knee injury was questionable.
Patriots right tackle Morgan Moses also left the game with an injury.
The Lions have a 7-3 lead, but injuries to two of the NFL’s best players could prove more important to both teams’ playoff hopes than the outcome of this game.
