New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is questionable to return to the game against the Los Angeles Chargers due to a head injury. Maye took a helmet-to-helmet hit during the first series of the game, leading to his immediate evaluation in the blue medical tent. He was later seen heading to the locker room for further assessment. This incident marks the second head injury for Maye this season, having previously suffered a concussion against the Jets in October. In Maye's absence, backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett has been warming up and is expected to take over the game. Maye was initially attended to by offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt on the sideline, and backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett was seen taking snaps from center Cole Strange.
